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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord 626 with 4-cylinder engines requiring 86 mm bore piston rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKia Sportage models compatible with standard size piston ring sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMazda B2000, B2200, MX-6, and Probe models with matching bore specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for use in engine rebuilds or repairs involving cylinder block components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for restoring engine compression and reducing oil consumption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure the cylinder bore is clean and free of debris before installing the Sealed Power E-542KC piston ring set.
