Detailed Product Description

The E-434K piston ring set from Sealed Power is engineered to meet the specifications of 3.8000 inch bore diameter engines commonly found in Buick Century, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and Pontiac Firebird models. The top ring features a barrel face design made from steel with a molybdenum coating, which helps reduce wear and improve sealing under high temperature and pressure conditions. The second ring uses a reverse torsional face design and is constructed from durable grey iron to provide effective compression sealing and minimize blow-by gases.

The oil ring is a 3 piece flex vent design with a 3/16 inch width, optimized for efficient oil control and reduced oil consumption. This ring set is intended for 6-cylinder engines and comes in a standard size, eliminating the need for file fitting during installation. The precise groove widths of 5/64 x 5/64 x 3/16 inches ensure proper fit and function within the cylinder block.
