The rings seal the space between the piston and the walls of the combustion chamber, so that there is enough compression of the fuel-fair mixture. They also prevent engine oil from being sucked up into the chamber, which is why blue smoke is a warning sign of bad rings.

What does d n mean on a piston ring?

The "D" on a piston ring typically indicates the cylinder bore diameter for which the ring is intended. The "N" refers to the ring's position on the piston, such as top, middle, or oil control ring. Together, "D N" specifies the ring's size and location within the engine.

What is the function of Piston ring groove?

The piston ring groove serves as a seating area for piston rings within an engine's piston. Its primary function is to maintain a seal between the piston and the cylinder wall, preventing the escape of combustion gases and controlling oil consumption. Additionally, the groove allows for axial movement of the rings, accommodating thermal expansion and ensuring proper ring function during engine operation. Proper design and maintenance of the groove are essential for optimal engine performance and longevity.
