A piston is provided with a gapless ring positioned in a subport position. Specifically, the gapless ring is positioned between the air ports and the crankcase of the engine. The gapless ring includes a rail and an annular ring received within the rail. The ring includes a ring gap and the rail includes a rail gap. When the rail receives the annular ring, the ring gap and rail gap are spaced apart in a circumferential direction such that the gaps do not overlap. In certain embodiments, the rail includes a notch. When the annular ring is received within the notch, the annular ring and rail are biased against rotating with respect to each other. In certain other embodiments, the gapless ring includes an oil scraping surface.
