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.
It's a Gucci Knot Ring. Can be found at Neiman Marcus. Regular price is around $515.00. Recently saw it on sale for $232.00.

Good nip
To view images of 'nip slips' one should try webpages such as Tumblr. Similarly, many celebrity gossip webpages, such as Perez Hilton, post photos of famous people who have had nip slips.
Piston ring gap.
There is no clearance of the ring to the block. The ring works in contact with the block to seal the combustion chamber and provide oil control.
To measure the piston ring side clearance, first, install the piston ring onto the piston and place them in the cylinder bore. Use a feeler gauge to measure the gap between the ends of the ring when it is positioned in the bore. The thickness of the feeler gauge that fits snugly in the gap indicates the side clearance. Ensure that the measurements are taken at multiple points for accuracy, as the clearance can vary due to wear or manufacturing tolerances.
assuming that you have new cylinder liners and pistons or old pistons with good ring groove conditions, piston rings come with the correct/specified clearance when bought new.
As the piston moves up and down in the cylinder it also moves the piston rings up and down in the grooves. With the rings moving up and down it gradually increases the side clearence. Material is taken off from both the piston groove and the ring.
bumping clearance is the clearance between piston and head ,piston and crank endside
Slide one of the compression rings down into the cylinder and measure the gap with a feeler gauge.
The way the question is phrased the answer is zero. But I suspect that you mean ring gap, and rule of thumb is .002 inches per inch of bore.
most auto mechanic preferred .002 clearance from piston skirt to sleeve
You have to disassemble the entire engine, remove the piston and check the rubber ring around that piston.
Well...... you need A LITTLE bit of clearance for the gas mixture to lubricate the piston and cylinder. Plus your piston expands when it gets hot.
The DNJ ring spec. information, printed on each compression ring (located next to the piston ring gap), is installed facing the top of the piston for both the top (#1) and middle (#2) compression piston ring slots. The oil control ring can be installed just like any other oil control ring in the bottom (#3) piston ring slot.
