The solution is Point-At.
Select 'small', use the Poser menu Object / Point At. 
This will give you a hierarchy window; in this window, select 'big'.

Then do the opposite:
Select 'big': use Object / Point-At.  In the window, select 'small'.

After this step, the piston and cylinder will always stay aligned.

Good!  Point-at is one of Poser's best features, but most people don't use it.
