A method of limiting circumferential rotation of a split-ring seal for use in a gas turbine engine includes inserting a retention block through a slot in a flange of a support structure and into a groove configured to hold a split-ring seal, and engaging an end of a split-ring seal in the groove with a surface of the retention block.

A piston for an internal combustion engine is provided. The piston includes a piston body including an upper combustion surface, an annular side wall with a ring belt region, and a cooling gallery located within the piston body having a fluid inlet. A piston ring is located in a ring groove around the ring belt region and an alignment pin is secured in a hole in the piston side wall to restrict circumferential displacement of the piston ring. The piston body further includes a boss within the cooling gallery into which the hole and the alignment pin extend. The boss projects into the cooling gallery opposite the fluid inlet and is shaped to provide a flow splitter surface configured to divide cooling fluid flowing through the fluid inlet during use into first and second fluid flows and to direct the first and second fluid flows in opposite directions around the cooling gallery.

Provided are a segment, a combination oil ring, and a manufacturing method for a segment, which are capable of preventing independent rotation of the segment while dealing with reduction in tension of the combination oil ring. Specifically, provided is a segment being slidable in an axial direction of a cylinder under a state in which an inner peripheral surface of the segment is pressed by ear portions formed in an expander spacer in a circumferential direction and an outer periphery side of the segment is pressed against an inner wall of the cylinder, in which the inner peripheral surface of the segment has at least two or more dross-projecting portions in the circumferential direction, and the dross-projecting portions have a projection height of from 4 m to 25 m.

An internal combustion engine includes a combustion chamber, a piston a plurality of piston rings. The combustion chamber has a bore wall. The piston is configured to move relative to the bore wall. The plurality of piston rings is provided to the piston. Each of the piston rings has a main body that is circular. Each of the pistons rings further has a stopper that protrudes from the main body.

A piston seal assembly includes a ring and a seal. The ring includes a ring body. The ring body extends circumferentially about a centerline axis. The ring body extends circumferentially between a first circumferential ring end and a second circumferential ring end. The ring body forms a ring end gap between the first circumferential ring end and the second circumferential ring end. The seal includes a seal body. The seal body extends circumferentially about the centerline axis. The seal body extends circumferentially between a first circumferential seal end and a second circumferential seal end. The seal body forms a seal end gap between the first circumferential seal end and the second circumferential seal end. The ring body and the seal body form an anti-rotation feature of the piston seal assembly. The anti-rotation feature configured to limit relative circumferential movement between the ring body and the seal body.
