Hastings 3.498" Bore Piston Ring Set +.040" (2M6164040)

• Includes top compression rings, second compression rings, and oil control rings

Top Compression Rings are Barrel Face

• Helps in the the heat transfer process between the piston and cylinder wall
• Controls combustion chamber gases allowing the piston to transfer the energy of the expanding combustion gases, to the crankshaft

Second Compression Ring are Reverse Torsional Taper Face

• Promotes side sealing that prevents oil from being forced under and behind the ring resulting in better oil economy
• Reverse twist ring along with a taper-machined ring face duplicates the OD bottom side scraping edge of a positive twist torsional ring

Oil Control Rings are Three Piece Flex Vent

• Three-piece design allows rails to be manufactured with a small cross sectional area for better conformability to bore
• Provides uniform pressure through four steel rails and two expanders assuring positive oil control
• Made in the USA

• Due to the thermal conductivity and design of KB pistons, special attention is required to the top ring end gap. Please read instructions furnished with piston for correct ring installation.
• Includes enough rings for two pistons (unless noted).
• Two rings per groove, except for the rails that will be two rail rings per one expander ring.
