Here's a one word answer : Hysteresis.

I think the picture of the con rod bent in half says it all. Are we talking about an I-beam or H-beam con rod.

What is to be gained over offsetting the wrist pin in the piston??

The only thing I can see surviving in that environment would be a sintered-metal 3D printed nano-scale structured beam that is rigid in X and Y but compressible in Z (for certain values of X,Y and Z).
