Detailed Description

Sealed Power E-222K is an engine piston ring set for standard bore service in 3.7500-inch cylinder applications. The ring package uses a steel top ring with moly for the upper compression position, a grey iron second ring with reverse torsional face design, and a 3-piece flex vent oil ring to support cylinder sealing and oil control. This configuration is commonly used in older Jeep engines and select Buick Skylark, Pontiac LeMans, and Pontiac Tempest applications.

Fits 1987-1990 Jeep Wrangler, N/A; 1974-1987 Jeep J10, N/A; 1976-1986 Jeep CJ7, N/A; 1984-1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, N/A; 1981-1985 Jeep Scrambler, N/A; 1974-1983 Jeep Cherokee, N/A; 1966-1983 Jeep CJ5, N/A; 1980-1983 Jeep Wagoneer, N/A; 1966-1973 Jeep Wagoneer, N/A; 1976 Jeep J20, N/A; 1974 Jeep J20, N/A; 1964-1967 Buick Skylark, N/A; 1964-1965 Pontiac LeMans, N/A; 1964-1965 Pontiac Tempest, N/A.

This part cross-references Anchor 8276 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Low compression caused by worn piston rings
• Excessive oil consumption from worn oil control rings
• Blow-by from poor cylinder sealing
• Loss of ring tension in high-mileage engines
• Uneven sealing in standard-bore rebuilds

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm bore diameter, ring groove widths, and cylinder count before installation. The E-222K is a standard-size set and is not file fit, so ring end gaps should be checked against the engine builder’s specifications during assembly. Clean piston ring grooves thoroughly and verify ring orientation, especially on the barrel-face top ring and reverse torsional second ring.
