One more thing. For those of you who have wondered what the circumferential groove is that is between the first and second ring land on a piston, it's an accumulator space for gases which have escaped past the first ring to expand and exert less pressure on the underside of the top ring, lessening the chances of unseating the top ring. More volume, less pressure. Pretty cool, huh.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.
