Piston ring

From MopedWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

A piston ring is an open-ended ring that fits into a groove on the outer diameter of a piston. The two main functions of piston rings in a moped engine are:

  1. Sealing the combustion chamber to maintain good compression.
  2. Supporting heat transfer from the piston to the cylinder wall.
