Piston rings are crucial components in an engine that:

Serve with two main purposes

2
New cards

What is one main purpose of piston rings?

Seal the combustion chamber to prevent leaks

3
New cards

What is the second main purpose of a Piston Ring?

Allowing pistons to move freely within the cylinder

4
New cards

When piston rings wear out:

They can no longer effectively seal the combustion chamber, leading to oil leaks into the chamber

5
New cards

As a result:

The engine burns the leaked oil, producing the blue smoke and requiring excessive amounts of oil to function properly
