How to correctly align piston rings?
1 Answers
Piston rings should not be aligned. More information about piston rings is as follows: 1. Piston rings are metal rings used to fit into the grooves of a piston. There are two types of piston rings: compression rings and oil rings. Compression rings are used to seal the combustible gas mixture in the combustion chamber, while oil rings are used to scrape excess oil from the cylinder walls. 2. A piston ring is a metal elastic ring with significant outward expansion deformation, which is assembled into a corresponding annular groove. The reciprocating and rotating motion of the piston ring relies on the pressure difference of gas or liquid to form a seal between the outer circular surface of the ring and the cylinder, as well as between the ring and one side of the ring groove.
