Sealed Power E-156X Piston Ring Set

Sealed Power E-156X is a standard-size engine piston ring set for vintage Ford and Mercury applications that use a 3.6250 in bore. It is built for classic engine rebuilds where correct ring groove widths, reverse torsional ring faces, and durable grey iron construction matter.

Key Features

  • Standard size piston ring set for 3.6250 in bore diameter
  • Top ring and 2nd ring use reverse torsional face design
  • Grey iron top ring and 2nd ring construction
  • Oil ring uses a 3-piece flex vent design
  • Ring groove widths: 3/32 x 3/32 x 3/16 in
  • Fits 6-cylinder applications with standard fitment
  • Sealed Power vintage components line for older engine rebuilds

Detailed Description

The Sealed Power E-156X piston ring set is made for restoring older engines to proper compression control and oil control during a rebuild. With a 3.6250 in bore size, 3/32 in top and second ring widths, and a 3/16 in oil ring width, it matches the dimensional requirements used in select Ford F-100, F-250, and F-350 trucks, along with Mercury Colony Park and Villager applications. The reverse torsional ring face design helps support consistent sealing characteristics in vintage engine service, while the grey iron ring material provides the durability expected in a rebuild-focused part.

Sealed Power’s vintage components program is aimed at applications over 35 years old, using certified manufacturing processes and modern materials to support classic engine restoration. Part number E-156X is a direct-fit standard-size option for rebuilders looking for correct ring geometry and dependable cylinder sealing in older Ford and Mercury engines.

What It Is Used For

  • Restoring compression loss in worn cylinders
  • Reducing oil consumption from tired ring packs
  • Correcting blow-by in vintage engine rebuilds
  • Replacing worn piston rings during overhaul work
  • Returning proper sealing performance to classic Ford and Mercury engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, ring groove widths, and standard-size requirements before assembly. Confirm cylinder condition, piston groove clearance, and ring end gap during engine preparation. This part number E-156X is not file fit, so ring end gap should be checked against the engine builder’s specifications before final installation. For fitment reference, this piston ring set fits 1954-1964 Ford F-100, 1954-1964 Ford F-250, 1954-1964 Ford F-350, 1961-1962 Mercury Colony Park, and 1962 Mercury Villager.

Quality Assurance

Sealed Power vintage components are manufactured with ISO- and QS-certified processes and are intended for classic engine rebuilds where dimensional accuracy and long-term service matter. This part cross-references National 563 for the same application.
