Well - a follow up question. I've always heard of "stuck rings" and efforts people will go through to free them up. Never had a situation I could relate to that problem or completely understood the issue. Is this typically in relationship to the rings being carbon gummed up and no longer able to rotate?? It always seems to be attributed to an old motor that has been sitting and blowing oil or having low compression when restarted (like the thing isn't just worn out). But, I'm not clear how anyone would relate it to the rings not rotating without pulling the motor apart?
