Heat is a byproduct of combustion. Both air-cooled and water-cooled engines need to dissipate that heat to keep the engine from running too hot. Can piston rings play a role in managing that heat?

Piston rings have small gaps that allow them to expand during engine operation. If these gaps line up, fuel and gases can escape into the crankcase, causing loss of power and increased oil consumption ...

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 ...
