Sealed Power E-1006KC Engine Piston Ring Set

Engine Piston Ring Set Overview

Sealed Power E-1006KC is a standard-size engine piston ring set built for 89.00 mm bores and 4-cylinder applications. It uses a steel top ring with chrome, a grey iron second ring with phosphate coating, and a 3-piece flex vent oil ring for controlled sealing and oil management.

Compatible With Ford Escape, Ford Fusion, Ford Transit Connect, Lincoln MKZ, Mercury Mariner, and Mercury Milan applications listed below. The E-1006KC part number is used across multiple late-model Ford and Lincoln engines with the same ring groove widths and standard fitment.

Key Features

• Standard-size ring set for 89.00 mm bore applications
• Steel top ring with chrome for wear-resistant sealing
• Grey iron second ring with phosphate coating
• Reverse torsional second ring face design
• 3-piece flex vent oil ring for oil control
• Ring groove widths: 1.2 x 1.2 x 2.5 mm

Detailed Application Notes

This Sealed Power piston ring set is engineered for engines that require precise ring dimensions and consistent cylinder sealing. The barrel-face top ring, reverse torsional second ring, and flex vent oil ring work together to support compression control and oil regulation in standard-bore 4-cylinder engines. If you are replacing worn rings on a Ford Escape, Ford Fusion, or Transit Connect, verify bore size and groove width before installation. The E-1006KC part number should be matched to the engine specification, not just the vehicle model.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 2C5162, 9E5Z6148A) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Low compression from worn piston rings
• Excessive oil consumption caused by ring wear
• Blow-by related to poor cylinder sealing
• Oil control issues in standard-bore engines
• Loss of ring tension or sealing performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm bore diameter, ring groove widths, and standard-size requirements before assembly. The file-fit attribute is marked no, so ring end gaps should not be treated as a file-to-fit application. Clean the ring lands thoroughly and follow the engine builder’s installation procedure for correct ring orientation and gap placement.

Quality Assurance

Sealed Power states that its parts use advanced designs, modern materials, and ISO- and QS-certified manufacturing to meet demanding engine requirements. The E-1006KC part number reflects that manufacturing approach for engine rebuild work.
