The
piston
has
a slightly oval shape when cold (in
consideration
of
thermal expansion) and a concave
head.
Three rings are installed in grooves in the piston.
The
top
ring
(1)
is
a keystone type, which
can
stand
against heavy loads, and the barrel face on
the
ring
fits well
to
the cylinder wall.
The
second
ring
(2)
is
an
undercut
type,
which
effectively prevents the oil from being carried up.
The
oil ring
(3)
has
chamfered contact faces and
an
expander ring, which increase the pressure
of
the oil
ri
ng agai nst the
cyl
inder wall.
Several
grooves are cut on
the
topland
to
help
heat dissipate and
to
prevent scuffing.
