its called quench....
like when you throw water onto a fire to quench it...
I.E. a piston actually cools itself on the head of the engine, as the head will be cooled by the water jacket.
Thus the closer to the head the cooler the piston will run.
Which means less hot spots and less likelyhood of detonation
