Detailed Description

Sealed Power E-1018KC piston rings are engineered for engines that require an 89.00 mm bore and standard ring dimensions. The barrel-face top ring helps maintain cylinder sealing, while the reverse torsional second ring supports combustion control and oil management. The low-tension 3-piece flex vent oil ring is specified to help regulate oil film on the cylinder wall in properly machined engines.

Sealed Power uses modern materials and controlled manufacturing processes to produce engine components that meet the demands of current passenger vehicles. This part cross-references 2C509975MM and 12033ZB00A for the same application. Search terms such as Nissan Altima E-1018KC piston ring set and Nissan Frontier engine ring set often point to this standard-size replacement.

What This Part Helps Address

• Excessive oil consumption from worn piston rings
• Low compression caused by ring wear or cylinder sealing loss
• Blue exhaust smoke related to oil control issues
• Reduced engine performance from poor combustion sealing
• Oil fouling from worn or stuck ring packs

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm bore diameter, ring groove widths, and standard-size requirements before installation. Measure cylinder wear and verify that the engine is within rebuild specifications for an 89.00 mm bore. Proper ring end gap, ring orientation, and cylinder preparation are critical for sealing performance.
