Unique apparatuses and methods for scraping deposits from a piston as the piston moves in an upstroke direction and a downstroke direction. An engine assembly includes a cylinder having a cylinder bore, a piston having a crown end, wherein the piston is disposed in the cylinder bore and configured to move in an upstroke direction and a downstroke direction relative to the cylinder bore. The piston includes a first land positioned adjacent the crown end. An antipolishing ring is disposed within the cylinder bore. The antipolishing ring has an outer annular surface and an inner annular surface, the inner annular surface has one or more protrusions configured to scrape the first land when the piston moves in the upstroke direction and the downstroke direction. The protrusions are also configured to scrape the first land when the piston has secondary or lateral motion.
