[0003] Conventionally, internal combustion engine such as but not limited to a diesel engine comprises a piston that is configured to slide/move in a cylinder. The piston and the rings are tightly held between walls of the cylinder such that there is will be minimum leakage of blowby gases from the cylinder. The blowby gases are produced due to combustion of fuel inside the cylinder. The piston comprises a plurality of grooves that are used for accommodating a plurality of compression rings that facilitates reduction of the blowby gases inside the cylinder. The leakage of the blowby gases from the cylinder into crankcase can lead to oil consumption and emission which is undesirable.
