"A General Motors Corp. engineer who did not want to be identified said that fuel trapped in the crevice between the crown and top sealing ring of a conventional piston and the cylinder wall does not burn and gets blown out with each stroke, thus making it a major contributor to hydrocarbon pollution. A carbon-carbon piston placed inside a carbon-carbon cylinder sleeve might operate with virtually no gap, substantially diminishing this environmental problem."
