That, and the fact the more you work the engine (higher revs) the more pressure there is, increasing the amount pushed past the rings,no doubt?

also the point of not letting the engine heat upand working it hard, would also send some passed the ringd before they expaned.

I'm only a practical mechanic, but I'm sure one of the techi boys will have a better explanation for you.

Cheers Mark.
