Exhaust hydrocarbon concentration reductions were determined for a revised design of spark ignition engine piston havinga much narrower top land. Hydrocarbon concentrations with the revised design were 47 to 74 % lower than the production design, depending on engine speed and load. These results demonstrate the sizable reductions in exhaust hydrocarbon emission that are possible when the piston-bore-ring crevice volume is essentially eliminated. However, durability of the present design, while adequate for laboratory experiments, would be unsatisfactory in passenger car service.
