Abstract (en)

Each piston head (38) is provided with a diametral dimension (D172) less than the diametral dimension of its respective bore (34) to provide a substantial annular space therebetween, and a solid seal-support ring (40) of low-friction material is mounted in a circumferential groove (170) on each piston head and is sufficiently thick for the piston head to be supported thereby with the metal of the piston head not permitted to touch the metal of its respective bore throughout reciprocation of the piston (36) in the bore. The longitudinal dimension of the rings (40) is made substantially equal to the longitudinal dimension of the piston heads, so that the axis of the piston head may angle slightly with respect to the axis of its bore, thereby reducing the criticality of alignment of the bores in the cylinder blocks so that they may be bored individually rather than as assembled pairs.
