A 12.7 Detroit piston liner, commonly used in Detroit Diesel engines, typically has an outside diameter of about 5.4 inches (137.2 mm) and an inside diameter of approximately 4.0 inches (101.6 mm). The liner height generally measures around 9.5 inches (241.3 mm). These measurements can vary slightly depending on specific engine models or design updates, so it's best to consult the manufacturer's specifications for precise details.
The numbers on the inside of a piston typically indicate the manufacturer's part number, the piston size or diameter, and sometimes the model or engine specification it is designed for. These numbers help ensure compatibility with specific engines and can include measurements for compression height or valve reliefs. Additionally, they may contain information regarding material properties or manufacturing standards.

The cylinder, is the body of the engine that has been bored out in order to place a piston inside of it. The piston rides inside the cylinder.
The piston moves up and down inside the engine cylinder.
The piston of a gauge pressure rotating until its freely suspend because the weight of the piston is balanced by the centrifugal force. The centrifugal force is created by the rotation of the piston and is equal to the weight of the piston.
Increasing the pressure inside the piston cylinder would cause the piston to lower since the higher pressure pushes down on the piston.
A piston is a plunger, or a plug that moves inside a cube, a cylinder. The piston diameter is the diameter of this plunger/plug. It's a tiny bit smaller than the diameter of the cylinder the piston moves in.
In terms of engines, an external combustion engine such as a steam engine burns fuel outside of the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston. An internal combustion engine such as a petrol or diesel engine burns the fuel inside the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston.
