To keep the piston from melting down, heat must be transferred out through the piston rings to the cylinder walls and ultimately into the cooling jacket. Today's engines tend to run hotter than ...

Repeated cycles of searing combustion heat alternating with cool incoming air and fuel, extreme load reversal, thrust forces that slam the pistons into the cylinder wallsits quite amazing that ...

How do piston rings work? What is blowby? Why are there three piston rings? What do each of the piston rings do? Typically ...

Pistons reciprocate inside the cylinders of an internal combustion engine. The outer diameter of the piston is slightly smaller than that of the cylinder liner, enabling it to move up and down with ...

Engineered using the OEM CAD models to clear the OEM piston cooling oil jets and crankshaft reluctor wheel of the LSA engine, the Lingenfelter LSA piston and ring kit will also work alongside ...

Presumably that you want to replace the worn out piston rings of a Toyota VVTi engine, you’ll need to know how to correctly put the new ones in place. The hardest part is to reach the piston rings ...

High performance engine building is the art of attention to detail. Top engine builders don’t take anything for granted. John Bouchard, engine builder at Boost Addicts in Madison, Tennessee showed us ...

If for some reason you disassembled a Toyota engine just to put it back and hope it will still work, here’s a short tutorial on how to check the piston rings gap tolerance, which will tell you if the ...

It's all about piston rings. This video serves as a great primer on what's going on with piston rings as they move along with the piston in an engine. The basic duty of the rings is to keep the ...
