Reply to "Damage to Piston Ring"

That lip probably comes from ring rotation. Contrary to common sense, a cast iron ring WILL occasionally wear against the much softer aluminum piston lands- how I don't know. I once saw a badly worn out engine in which most of the 1st & 2nd rings were worn on both top & bottom into T-shapes. Cannot explain it.
