What is the primary benefit of the chrome plating on these piston rings?

The chrome plating on these Mahle piston rings is designed to increase their durability and resistance to wear. This helps the rings last longer, especially in engines that operate under higher temperatures or stress.

What does 'high tension' mean for a piston ring?

A high tension ring exerts more outward pressure against the cylinder wall. This ensures a tighter seal, which is important for maintaining compression, controlling oil consumption, and preventing combustion gases from escaping past the piston.

Why is this product not CARB approved?

This specific Mahle piston ring set is not approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Therefore, it cannot be legally shipped to or installed on vehicles registered in California due to emissions regulations.

Product Details

Starting with a 4.605-inch bore diameter and a 3/16-inch oil ring width, this Mahle OE high tension chrome ring set is built for performance applications. The .170-inch thickness of the oil ring provides a solid seal, crucial for maintaining oil control and preventing blow-by in demanding engine builds.

Mahle is a well-known name in engine components, and this piston ring set reflects their commitment to well-built parts. The high tension design ensures a firm seal against the cylinder wall, which is important for both power and efficiency. The chrome plating on the rings adds a layer of durability and helps them resist wear, even under higher operating temperatures. This makes them a solid option for rebuilding or modifying engines where reliability and performance are key.

When rebuilding an engine, proper ring installation is critical. Ensure you follow the manufacturer's specific instructions for gapping and seating these rings to achieve the best results. This set is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
