How are connecting rods attached to the piston?

Connecting rods are attached to the piston through a component called the piston pin or wrist pin, which serves as a pivot point. The piston pin is inserted into a small bore in the piston, allowing the connecting rod to articulate as the piston moves up and down in the cylinder. The other end of the connecting rod is typically connected to the crankshaft, enabling the conversion of linear motion into rotational motion. This arrangement facilitates the engine's power stroke and overall operation.
