the Ambo piston is considerable longer than the Eldo, so your theory about
the rocking would make sence, but I think maybe the early Eldo's had 4
rings too.

In my reading, and not having taken apart my Eldorado yet, I am wondering
why the Ambo has 4 piston rings, and the Eldo only three. I thought the
reason for the fourth ring was to prevent the rocking of the piston in the
cylinder. Is this correct or does the Eldo have 4 rings. If not, anyone
know why?
