A compression piston and cylinder mechanism for the V type two piston Stirling engine which substantially reduces engine dead volume without increasing complexity or decreasing mechanical efficiency. A stepped piston is attached at its smaller outer portion to a relatively long connecting rod. The piston seal is located at the larger inner portion of the piston, thereby permitting a short passage of low dead volume to connect the volume swept by the compression piston to the engine's heat exchangers. A stepped cylinder corresponds to the shape of the piston, having a smaller outer portion that sustains the side loading resulting from connecting rod angularity, and a larger inner portion that the piston seals against.
