With all the 'fury' in there, and nothing to positively locate them, my guess is they squirm and wiggle around a little, and it might vary from engine to engine, but would be inconsequential. This re

Studebaker also used pins to keep the rings from rotating. I can remember the vertical ridges left in the cylinder walls because of this. Personally, I think that ring rotation is as much a problem

John, interesting that you mention rotating rings. Just yesterday, I had another discussion with an engine designer on the subject. My stock question is to provide solid, tangible, experimental data

IMHO, I think if piston rings were supposed to rotate, then it wouldn't be so crucial to have the ring gaps different from each other when assembling an engine. On a related note, I was reading that

As a point of clarification, manufacturer literature says rings should ratchet. Rotating or spinning, is something to be avoided. Now, what mechanics in the cylinder bore can you create to generate a
