Mahle Rings GM 6.0L LS Engine Truck LQ9 / L96 .106in RW Oil Ring Moly Ring Set

If you're rebuilding the top end of your GM 6.0L LS truck engine, like the LQ9 or L96, Mahle OE piston rings are a solid choice. These rings are built to meet original equipment requirements, focusing on reducing friction and ring mass. This not only helps minimize oil consumption but also contributes to a longer service life for your engine.

This specific set, part number 42157CP.020, features a .106-inch wide moly oil ring. Molybdenum is known for its hardness and low friction, which helps maintain a good seal against the cylinder wall even under demanding conditions. This design helps keep oil from entering the combustion chamber, reducing smoke and oil burning. The rings are sized at .020 inches undersize, meaning they are intended for cylinders that have been bored out by that amount during an engine rebuild.

This set fits a wide range of GM trucks and SUVs from the early 2010s, including popular models like the Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, and Chevrolet Express vans. Always ensure your engine block has been machined to the correct size for these .020 undersize rings before installation.
