This provides support to the oil control ring where the piston material is missing for the raised wrist pin. Also this support ring should be dimpled to ensure that the oil control ring doesn't rotate and the ends end up in the wrist pin area. I have had two motors that used the 3.40" stroke with no oil consumption issues. Just my opinion...Mac |
