Eduard, you beat me to it!

Stefan, while this ring is normal, it does seem a little low and close to the piston pin bore, and if compression will be able to bleed into there then the effective combustion chamber volume will lower quite drastically. I would like to see the wear ring about 1mm higher up the piston, where the 2nd ring cut is, and the 2nd ring cut .5mm higher (closer to the 1st).
