1939-1940 INDIAN FOUR PISTON RING ASSEMBLY
Indian Four pistons are fitted with two 1/16 piston rings in the two top ring grooves. The two lower ring grooves are fitted with 3/32″ bevel rings, the bevel on ring pointing to top of piston. This gives an oil scraping effect on cylinder wall, returning surplus oil through the holes in piston just under each bevel ring.
