The length of the piston stroke also impacts engine lifespan. Long-stroke engines, due to the longer piston travels within the cylinder, experience greater friction and wear.

 

Simultaneously, long-stroke engines tend to generate higher temperatures and pressures at high speeds, placing greater demands on engine sealing and durability.

 

Short-stroke engines, on the other hand, have a shorter piston travel distance, resulting in less friction and wear, thus offering an advantage in terms of engine lifespan.

 

The choice depends on the specific usage scenario and driving needs. Long-stroke engines are more advantageous for scenarios prioritizing low-speed torque and acceleration, while short-stroke engines are more suitable for scenarios prioritizing high-speed performance and fuel economy.

 

Furthermore, we must also consider the compatibility of the engine with other vehicle components, as well as the engine's lifespan and reliability.
