Technical Details and Specifications

The E-470X piston ring set is engineered with an 82.00 mm bore diameter, matching the bore size of compatible Ford Escort, Mercury Lynx, and Ford Tracer engines. Both the top and second rings utilize grey iron material, known for its wear resistance and durability under high temperatures. The reverse torsional face design on the top and 2nd rings helps maintain a tight seal against the cylinder wall, reducing blow-by and improving combustion efficiency. The oil ring is a 3-piece flex vent design with a 3.00 mm width, optimized for effective oil scraping and control to prevent excessive oil consumption.
