Compression ring
A compression ring is one component that fits into the ring groove on a piston. In order from the top, compression rings are referred to as the top ring, the second ring, and the third ring. They work to maintain airtightness between the cylinder inner wall and the piston, and to transfer the heat received by the piston due to combustion to the cylinder.
