Sorry, I was trying to be funny. Usually with a V-Type engine or a straight configuration, when you get stuck oil rings that cause burning, you can pour some decarbonizing agent (sea foam, trans fluid, etc) and dissolve the build up causing the rings to stick. you cannot do that with a flat (or side to side that I called "sideways") because only a very small portion of the ring will sit in the mixture whereas you will get 100% coverage with an up and down piston. I'll stick to auto repairs and leave the comedy to the pros.
