JE Pistons Ring Sets 1/16-1/16-3/16 RING

JE Pistons is well-known for making high-performance engine components, and their piston ring sets are a prime example of that expertise. This particular set is designed for 8-cylinder engines and aims to maximize horsepower by ensuring a precise seal for combustion pressure. Having a good seal is critical because it keeps the power stroke contained, preventing blow-by and ensuring all that energy goes into turning the crankshaft.

This set features a 0.064 inch ductile iron plasmy moly top ring, which is built for durability and effective sealing. The second ring is also 0.064 inch ductile iron, treated with phosphate for improved performance. For the oil ring, you get a 0.188 inch carbon steel chrome standard tension ring, designed to manage oil effectively and reduce friction. These rings are file-fit, meaning you'll need to gap them to your specific cylinder bore during installation, a common practice for performance builds to achieve the best possible seal.

JE Pistons offers custom services for their rings, like back cutting and PVD coating, which are used by top racing teams to gain durability and reduce friction. While this specific set doesn't include those advanced treatments, it's built with the same attention to detail that JE Pistons is known for. Keep in mind that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
