In recent years, we&#8217;ve moved past cups and into the O-ring era. Hmm&#8230; is that so&#8230;<br \/>\nUnlike cups, O-rings don&#8217;t wear out the same way, so they have a longer lifespan. With O-rings positioned top and bottom, they seat better and reduce damage to the piston and cylinder. Plus, you can achieve tighter piston clearance, which is another benefit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/DSC02636.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-63292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/DSC02636.jpg\" alt=\"DSC02636\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/DSC02636.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/DSC02636-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/DSC02636-624x415.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWow, I see.
