What have you done today with your Austin Seven
On the way home from the Scottish Austin 7 rally many years ago my wife was driving the Ruby when it started to lose power. I checked and found no 2 cylinder was not firing. As we were only 10 miles from home she just nursed it home. I had a rebuilt engine for it just changed them over and stuck the old one in the shed. I took it apart today and the pictures show what I found. The car still ran totally quiet and the lower half of the piston went up and down as normal.

The top ring held the top part above the bore.
