it still wont run. you need to add metal to top of the piston. even when you screw 1mm metal sheet with screws in piston then it will run for a good time.

You should have used Oak as it is more heat resistant. Also Mahogany is more fire resistant. Better still Iron Wood, which won't burn at all and doesn't float in water. Birch wood wasn't such a good choice as it is a soft wood.

White Oak (yes wood!) was used by the Chinese as an ablative material for reentry protection on their older space vehicles. Tough stuff, no idea how it would do in that situation though :P Though wood also swells and contracts a lot more due to moisture absorption unless treated to try and prevent that. Using wood as a piston would present some rather unique challenges, over using metals. I wonder is capping them would work :P

[@Dan_moon_sun]

I have heard of many engines that have run with wooden pistons. Here is the reason why they worked and why they existed. Years ago, probably in the 40s and 50s, spares were difficult to find for pre-war machines and also expensive. These older engines were low compression, low speed and relatively low output. Wood pistons won’t hold together at high rpm or cope with high performance but will be OK to get a machine sold or botch-up. I have heard some had a steel cover on top. Oak or some very hard wood could last a while. What wood did this guy make them from? Pistons aren’t subjected to constant heat as some people think, the incoming mixture is cool. If you had an oak piston and an alloy piston on the bench and subjected both to the heat of a blow-torch or oxy-propane flame you may be surprised at what a mess the alloy piston would be before you burned a hole in the wooden one.

I knew a old timer who was 90 25 years ago when he died. He told me about his first car a model T and it had a bad piston so he removed it and the rod and drove a block of wood down the cylinder to plug the hole. He said that it ran fine but if he got to a steep hill he had to go in reverse because it didn’t have enough power. I have no reason to doubt his story he was a car dealer for decades and my great uncle. His brother backed up the story. That car got him in the car business.
