Engine Piston Ring for Classic V8 Applications

This engine piston ring set is built for vintage Chevrolet and Ford applications that use a 3.5625-inch bore and standard oversize specification. Part number 2C136 is listed for a wide range of classic passenger cars, wagons, pickups, and utility models from the 1950s and early 1960s.

Key Features

  • Standard oversize piston ring set for 3.5625-inch engine bores
  • Chrome top ring surface for improved wear resistance
  • Grey iron top and second rings for stable sealing performance
  • Steel rail and stainless expander oil ring design
  • Three-ring configuration with matched groove dimensions
  • Fits multiple Chevrolet and Ford six-cylinder applications

Detailed Description

Part number 2C136 is an engine piston ring set engineered around a 3/32-inch top groove, 3/32-inch second groove, and 3/16-inch oil groove. The ring package uses chrome on the top ring and oil ring surface, phosphate on the second ring surface, and grey iron construction for the top and second rings. This combination supports cylinder sealing, oil control, and consistent compression in classic engines that match the listed bore and groove dimensions.

Compatible With Chevrolet Bel Air, Impala, Biscayne, Corvette, Suburban, and related truck and utility models, as well as Ford Crestline, Customline, Mainline, F-100, and other period applications shown in the fitment data. Part number 2C136 also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 9110KX, E237KC) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Restoring compression in worn cylinder bores
  • Controlling oil consumption from ring wear
  • Reducing blow-by caused by poor ring sealing
  • Replacing damaged or fatigued piston rings during engine rebuilds
  • Supporting proper cylinder pressure in vintage inline-six engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore size, groove width, and ring end gap before installation. This part is listed for engines with a 3.5625-inch bore and standard oversize dimensions, so matching the engine specification is essential. Use clean cylinder walls and follow the engine builder’s ring installation and break-in procedures for best sealing results. Fits 1952-1962 Chevrolet and Ford applications only where the listed engine dimensions match.

Quality Assurance

Fitment data identifies this part for a broad range of classic Chevrolet and Ford applications, and the ring materials and surface treatments are specified for engine sealing and wear control. Part number 2C136 is cataloged with application-specific dimensions to support accurate rebuild selection.
