Technical Details and Design Features

This piston ring set includes a top ring constructed from steel with chrome plating, providing wear resistance and maintaining a tight seal within the cylinder bore. The barrel face design of the top ring helps optimize piston ring sealing and reduces blow-by gases. The second ring is made from grey iron and features a negative twist taper face, which aids in controlling oil consumption and improving ring stability. The oil ring is a 3-piece flex vent type with a 2.00 mm width, designed to effectively scrape excess oil from the cylinder walls while allowing proper lubrication.

The set is manufactured to fit a bore diameter of 88.5 mm, with an outside diameter of 89.00 mm, suitable for standard size cylinders. Radial wall thicknesses for the top ring are specified as 2.77 x 3.50 x 2.80 mm, ensuring proper fit and function within the piston grooves.
