    Well explained! However, a well-designed and maintained engine and its piston rings can easily last 400,000km/250,000 miles without opening the engine without the engine's oil consumption having increased significantly.

      I have a vw tdi that's just hit 300,000 miles. That's just with regular oil changes every 10,000 miles. I'm gonna try and get it to half a million miles. 🤞

    • @1983dmd

      Totally agree. The estimate of 100 000 miles is false IMHO...Frequent oil changes with quality oil will greatly help improve longevity.

    OLÁ. 8/12/23. CREIO TER SIDO O MELHOR QUE VI NA INTERNET ATÉ HOJE. Poderiam ter mostrado o lado de montagem dos setores de aço em relação à lateral da canaleta do anél de óleo. Devido ao processo como é fabricado o setor de aço não é perfeitamente plano. Como a função é de "regular" a quantidade de óleo para os anéis de compressão o erro de montagem pode provocar aumento do consumo de lubrificante ou insuficiência de lubrificação. ABRAÇOS...

      Use Top Engine Cleaner, I think it's AC Delco brand. Comes in a metal can. Honestly the rings might be too far gone, but worth a try. Regular oil changes and carbon cleaning are key. I had a 99 and it drank oil like water, I topped the oil at 1000 miles and at 2000 miles id change it. Those old accords just never quit. Thing ran and ran, I worked with a guy that had one he ran low on oil for two weeks, no knock topped it up and it kept rolling.

    • @matufujiwara7493
      @matufujiwara7493 10 місяців тому

      there are mostly 2 ways of doing it.
      most typical is with 3 piston rings.
      Many of the service manuals on newer engines say to put all 3 ring gaps at 120degrees from eachother.
      and another way is to put the gaps on opposite side of eachother.
      i personally put the ring gaps at opposite of eachother.

  • @envitech02
    @envitech02 10 місяців тому +1

    The rings act as a seal between the combustion chamber and the crankcase. However I don't see how this can provide a good seal when there is a clearly a gap on each of the rings. Wouldn't the gasses pass through this gap and leak out?

    • @gaborkorthy8355
      @gaborkorthy8355 10 місяців тому +2

      On assembly you stagger the ring gaps so they do not overlap to eliminate blowby.

    • @flutibg
      @flutibg 10 місяців тому +6

      The gap looks big when the piston is outside the cylinder, but when installed the ring is compressed and the gap becomes very small - about 0.25 to 0.50mm and it almost disappears when the engine gets hot. A little gas passes through the gap but the quantity is almost negligible.

    • @darrylleigh7514
      @darrylleigh7514 9 місяців тому

      It's called ring in gap. If set properly and the 3 different rings staggered 120 degrees apart it will perform as designed with very minor compression loss or blow by. All internal combustion engines are designed and have been for decades to operate this way
