🔍 Key Concepts

• Piston ring end clearance and what happens as temperature increases • How cylinder liners typically wear (top vs middle vs bottom) in a diesel engine • What happens when metal parts have no room to expand under heat

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the ring circumference when the engine reaches normal operating temperature and the ring gets hotter. • If there is not enough end clearance, where along the cylinder wall would the ring be most likely to bind as it tries to expand? • Consider whether the ring would catch where the liner is tightest (least worn) or where it is loosest (most worn).

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which area of the liner is usually least worn and therefore has the smallest clearance to the ring. • Visualize the ring ends touching and trying to expand further—what mechanical effect does this have on the ring in the groove and against the liner? • Verify which option matches a condition where thermal expansion plus insufficient clearance leads to jamming rather than gradual wear.
