The piston may separate the cylinder into an upper piston section and a lower piston section. The piston may have a piston ring assembly with a piston ring configured to sealingly contact the cylinder. The piston ring assembly may have a thickness (D). The engine may have an annular crevice in fluid communication with the upper piston section. The engine may also have a plurality of venting grooves that may fluidly connect the annular crevice with the lower piston section, only when the crank angle ranges from about 85° to 95° and about 265° to 275° after the top dead center (TDC).
