It's kinda like focussing a discussion about diesel engines around compression ratios and expecting to be comprehensive and informative about how the engine works. "Well, what's a crankshaft?"
I know you get it LG, I'm wondering if Mhz does. Well actually that was just the nice optimist in me coming out. I really don't think she does get it. Or ever will for that matter.
No it is a small portion of a much more complex issue, why do I have to start with the biggest issues, past the headline (corruption) the names places and dates are quite new to me, the pattern used is not that different.
As far as I know...;-)
Yet you were ficsated on it none the less...interesting. I guess it was the only part you could understand.
Did you know that compression efficiency goes up by a full % for each 1/1000th you can reduce compression ring gaps by. If the gap ever reaches 0 (heat expansion above a determined number) well you lose all you gained and more.
Most auto engines run 2 compression rings, a truck piston has 3 compression rings. At 200,000 the two rings are pretty useless and need replacing, the 3 ring piston is still about 80% efficient and is good for another 200,000 or more.
Now if you could add variable cam lift and timing you might have something that a person would want if longevity is any sort of goal.
Do you know if you are bored or stroked?
Nothing more than covering any points that part played before moving on. You are the reason it took so many posts to cover.
That's twice so far today you have said that. Apologies for what?? Listening to bear, like I care who you chat too.
I know a lot of things about machines. Diesel engines use between 2 and 5 rings inclusively. Gasoline engines typically use 2 flat ones plus a wiggly one.
I took a lot of theory before getting my mechanic's license and did a lot of work on machines. What amuses me is that you think there's necessarily a difference between an auto and a truck engine. Many truck engines use gasoline. Many autos use gasoline. Many autos use diesel. Many trucks use diesel.Besides, what's this have to do with the point?
Yes.

lol, on the grounds it might incriminate myself, nuff said, my one moment of fame and its already gone.
In your usual style...........
A 3 compression ring piston will work better and last longer. The drag caused by the extra ring is nothing when on cruise control. Say you wanted to restore an older car and keep it for many years. Using a truck piston, like what is available for a BBChev will save yo money in the long-run. About 1/2M km long.
You query was about compression efficiency, the 3rd ring is all about effiency and longevity
