     https://imgur.com/a/PwCb6Un  One of them is a screenshot the other 2 are a picture of my monitor because that was easier. I hope you can recreate the glitch with this. I also updated the engine with a cover over the spark plug to prevent it from being pulled. I also apologise for my long reaction time. I cannot check my phone that often.

    Are these screenshots from my mod? I see you have a clock in the corner, which only my mod does.

    I checked an older version of your save in my mod, and I still can't make it pull anything it shouldn't. Not sure what's going on. Can you try to make a new, separate save, that has the bug? That way I can see it separately from any changes you want to make to the published version of your engine.

    I have now discover that the problem can only occur during the combustion event. If i remove the spark plug and ignition cannot occur then the piston cannot pull the head down. I  am currently working on a save that produces the undesired effect semi-reliably. I will update this message with the save once i have made it. I also do not recall having downloaded any type of mods, but i will reinstall the game in case that's the problem wich i doubt because the glitch still occurs on my phone , the web version and on my laptop and It happens wether im logged in or not. 

     

    (edit)

    I think i have figured it out. The ignition is not the problem. the problem is caused by the titanium sparking from the ignition (also why i thought it was caused by the combustion as when i removed the spark plug it didn't occur) I still couln't get it to occur with any other gas as they would either block the piston or valves. or ignite the intake if i kept the spark plug on in an attempt to increase the chance of the glitch occuring. I have made a version one where the glitch can occur very reliably. and i have confirmed that it's definitely caused by the titanium getting sparked.

    I don't know if what im calling a glitch is intended since the wiki does state that it's intended for spark to change the properties of the material. It specifically states that if titanium is sparked its abilty to hold pressure is removed temporarily because of it turning into spark. If you can change this behaviour for pistons and their C-type i would be very grateful.
