Inert gas filled hollow ring set in a machined circumferential groove
around the liners. Usually a stainless steel ring. This ring provides
the combustion gas seal, a soft gasket around the head to block mating
seals oil and water ways. A plain round section wire ring is more
common, the Wills ring is better, but a lot more expensive. Wills rings
have been used in the UK on Imp engines for decades.
