When engines are canted to one side (BMW M30, Previa, etc) how do they wear the same on both sides?

    Gravity just isn’t that big a force, at least compared to the force of combustion pressing the piston down the cylinder. The wear on piston skirts due to gravity being not-quite-axial would be so small as to be immeasurable. Especially when that same part is experiencing forces orders of magnitude higher as part of its normal operation.
