A two-cycle engine that includes a high pressure fuel pump that pressurizes fuel to produce pressurized fuel and pumps the pressurized fuel from a fuel controller to a fuel injector. The fuel injector injects the pressurized fuel into a cylinder. A high pressure air pump pressurizes air to produce pressurized air and pumps the pressurized air from an air controller to an air injector. The air injector injects the pressurized air into the cylinder.

The present disclosure provides a sealing ring assembly having ring segments configured to seal a high-pressure region from a lower pressure region of a piston and cylinder device. The sing segments are configured to move radially outward and wear during operation of the piston via the cylinder device. The ring segments include, for example, wedge-shaped features that engage with corresponding wedge recesses in the interfaces between ring segments. The sealing ring assembly may include a high-pressure boundary and a low-pressure boundary. As the sealing ring wears, the ring segments stay engaged with the interfaces, so that ring gaps do not form on the low pressure boundary.
