The ring package combines a grey iron top ring and second ring with a steel rail and stainless expander oil ring, along with phosphate and chrome surface finishes to support consistent sealing and wear control. This makes it a practical choice for engine rebuild work where bore size and ring construction must match the original specification. It fits 1971-1977 Toyota Corolla, 1971-1973 Toyota Carina, and other listed Nissan and Subaru applications, including 1977-1979 Nissan 200SX and 1973-1976 Subaru DL. The part number 6872 also cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 9099X, 12123P) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Is Used For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring cylinder sealing in worn engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReducing oil control issues caused by ring wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing compression loss from aged piston rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupporting rebuilds that require standard bore fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing rings specified for 4-cylinder engine service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the cylinder bore is 85.00 mm before installation and confirm the engine calls for standard oversize rings.
