The gas ports work in conjunction with 0.043-inch compression rings. The narrow rings have less radial tension than larger cross-section rings, which reduces bore friction. The gas ports provide combustion pressure directed to the back of the ring land to augment the ring tension when on the power stroke. The result is very low tension on the walls for three of the four strokes up and down the bore, yet plenty of seal when needed. View Related Article
