Technical Details and Specifications

The E-542KC piston ring set is manufactured to fit engines with an 86.00 mm bore diameter, commonly found in Ford 626, Kia Sportage, and Mazda B2000, B2200, MX-6, and Probe models. The top ring’s barrel face design and steel with molybdenum material provide enhanced wear resistance and sealing capabilities. The second ring’s reverse torsional face and grey iron composition help control combustion gases and reduce oil consumption. The oil ring’s 3-piece flex vent design ensures effective oil scraping and distribution, maintaining optimal lubrication and minimizing oil burn. Each ring’s width is precisely engineered: 1.50 mm for the top and second rings, and 4.00 mm for the oil ring, matching the groove widths for proper fitment and function.
