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

When you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, getting the piston rings seated correctly is crucial for performance and longevity. This set from JE Pistons is designed to help you achieve that precise seal, which is key to maximizing horsepower by keeping combustion pressure where it belongs. They offer these rings in a wide variety of sizes and thicknesses to fit many different engines, and this particular set is for an 8-cylinder application with specific dimensions of 1/16-inch for the top and second rings, and 3mm for the oil ring.

What sets JE Pistons apart is their experience working with top racing teams. The same custom services they offer to NHRA Pro Stock and NASCAR teams, like back cutting and PVD coating, are available to the public. These advanced techniques can lead to significant gains in durability and power by reducing friction and improving the ring seal. This set features a ductile iron plasma moly top ring for good sealing and wear resistance, an iron phosphate second ring, and a low-tension carbon steel chrome oil ring designed to manage oil and reduce drag.

Remember that these rings are file-fit, meaning you'll need to carefully file the end gap to match your cylinder bore dimensions for a perfect seal. This is a standard practice for many performance builds and ensures the rings can expand properly with heat. Please note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
