Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

1. point constrain the piston to the rod
2. then use the point constraint offset in the Y axis to move the piston back up where it should be (because it jumped to the pivot of the rod)
3. then if you break the pistons X and Z connections to the point constraint, it only moves up and down!
Unfortunately I can't attach the file because I use Maya 4.5, but did you get what I mean?
