Retarded 'piston return springs' post...
Whoever thought up this idea? If piston springs actually are real, they will not help one bit, but they will hurt perofrmance. The spring wont help push the piston down any, because the spring in another cylinder has to be compressed. So in conclusion, they will all cancel each other out and make the engine HARDER to turn. Now I see why the post was locked...

LMAO. That's about as creative as the time me and my buddies played a prank on the only girl in our auto shop class. We sent her to the tool shed to fetch a quart of blinker fluid and a set of metric pliers. Too funny!
