At least one, could be many more depending on size of engine.

If i replace a head gasket and resurface my head will it restore my compression and make my vehicle start and run?

You will have an improvement in engine performance and an increase in compression unless the compression rings on the pistons need replacement .


Why do engine looses compression?

smalltime here, generally your compression rings on your pistons are shot ormabey worse case senerio cracked block! hope this helps. smalltime.


How many rings in piston?

Most pistons in internal combustion engines typically have three rings: two compression rings and one oil control ring. The compression rings help seal the combustion chamber and maintain pressure, while the oil control ring regulates oil consumption by scraping excess oil from the cylinder walls. Some high-performance or specialized engines may have additional rings, but three is the standard configuration.


Would changing the pistons solve an oil problem?

Changing the pistons will NOT fix an oil problem UNLESS you have a hole in the piston, which would cause many more problems as well. Placing new rings on the pistons, along with honing the cylinder walls (which is necessary if you are replacing rings) WILL allow the cylinder to seal better, improving compression and stopping oil slipping past the oil ring. It would be wise to check valve guides and seals as well if you decide to change the rings.

Poor compression rings on the pistons will allow gasoline to seep into the oil sump.

98 Dodge Neon won't start and plugs had oil on them?

I am not a professional mechanic but i think that you might have blown rings on the pistons that have oil on the spark plugs. what is probably happening is the rings are bad so, you are not getting good if any compression in the cylinders and the oil on the plugs is probably from a bad oil control ring also on the pistons and the oil is getting past the pistons onto the plugs.


Why won't engine start?

1) If there is no battery power to turn the engine and make a spark and pump fuel. 2) If there is no fuel supply. 3) If there is no spark when the engine turns. 4) If the spark is mistimed compared with the compression phase of the pistons. 5) If there is low or no compression because of burned valves, broken rings, or holed pistons.


If you increase the bore on your 350 v8 does that mean new pistons and rings?

Yes. Boring the cylinders means that you have made the hole bigger. Although it's only a few thousandths of an inch difference, that is quite a lot when the piston is traveling through there HOPEFULLY for a long time. If you bore the cylinder without putting in the appropriate sized pistons & rings you will have NO compression and the engine won't run, and even if it did, it would wear out VERY quickly. So, YES, you do need to put in new pistons and rings when you bore the cylinders. And while you're at it, if you live in a high altitude (4,000 ft elevation or above) you can usually select pistons that will raise your compression by 1 point without causing trouble for the computer.


How many compression rings does the piston contain in a typical automotive engine?

2 compression rings and one oil control ( helps scrap excess oil off cylinder walls)
