Piston Design!

[pittersuk]

Hello all!

I currently have a few questions to ask and see if anyone could help me.

I have currently been given the task to design a new piston including the connectong rod and gujon pin.

I have been given certain specification which are:

it must be 500cc
total power between 7500 to 14000 rpm
120 bar combustion pressure
bore

I was just wondering if anyone could recomend some suitable materials which i could construct the piston and the connecting rod from.

also if anyone has done any kind of engine component design before would you be kind enough telling me how you went about it?

Thanks A.Pitman
