I was thinking about this on the way to work this morning as I coasted up to a set of traffic lights.
Do you think cars that are coasted a lot are less likely to clog piston rings. (Some cars seem to be more likely to develop this issue than others from what I've read).
My logic being that during coasting
A) You are getting 0 contamination added to the rings, only cleaning.
B) On gasoline engines you create a vacuum in the cylinders which I'd think draws oil up into the ring packs on the cylinders giving it chance to clean out more.
I am just wondering whether this would help people with stuck / clogged piston rings?
