I agree... particularly in those gas engines which used a carb... the gas and air was totally in contact with the working surface of the rings ...
I don't know how this would apply to gas engines with fuel injection ... direct injection was mentioned... is that type made to wait until the piston is at the top of the compression stroke before gas is injected ? Or is it injected in a manner so that it will be mixed with the air before the air is compressed ?
