A system and method for measuring end gap position and rotation of rings on a piston reciprocating in an engine cylinder. Eddy current induction detectors are installed in ports extending through the cylinder wall spaced around the circumference. Signals are collected from each detector over a portion of the engine cycle for a number of revolutions, and the end gap position is associated with a detector having a significant variation in sensed induction currents.
