Pistons can shrink in a car due to thermal contraction, which occurs when the engine cools down after operation. Additionally, wear and tear over time, as well as exposure to high temperatures and pressures, can cause the piston material to lose its structural integrity, leading to a decrease in size. However, significant piston shrinkage is rare in properly functioning engines, as they are typically designed to operate within specific temperature ranges.
What else can I help you with?
What causes a car to stumble on part throttle?
its the sound of the pistons stroking.
Can low oil cause a car to overheat?
Yes.having low or no oil causes friction in the pistons which will cause car 2overheat.
What effect does excessive revving have on your car engine?
Excessive revving of an engine causes overpressure in the crankcase. It causes unhealthy expansion in the pistons and the valves.
Does the pistons of a car move when the car is not moving?
it depends. if the car isn't moving, but the engine is still on, then yes the pistons are moving. if the engine is off, and the car isn't moving, then the pistons are still.

Why would a car shake during acceleration?
The pistons are running in the cylinders of the engine, so when the rpm of the engine rises, the pistons quickley build up speed. It is this rapid acceleration of the pistons that casue the car to shake.
