Technical Details and Material Specifications

The E-776KC piston ring set includes a top ring with a barrel face design that helps maintain optimal sealing under varying engine conditions. The top ring is made from steel with a chrome coating to resist wear and corrosion. The second ring uses cast iron material with a reverse torsional face design, which aids in controlling oil consumption and improving compression. The oil ring is a 3-piece flex vent type, designed to efficiently scrape excess oil from the cylinder walls while maintaining lubrication. Each ring's width and thickness are engineered to match the standard bore diameter of 74.00 mm, ensuring compatibility with engines in Chevrolet Firefly, Geo Metro, Pontiac Firefly, and Suzuki Samurai and Swift models.

• Suzuki Swift

It is designed specifically for 4-cylinder engines with a 74.00 mm bore diameter, making it suitable for engine rebuilds or repairs requiring standard size piston rings.

Common Engine Issues Addressed by This Piston Ring Set

• Reduced compression due to worn or damaged piston rings
• Excessive oil consumption caused by ineffective oil ring sealing
• Blow-by gases leading to decreased engine performance
• Increased emissions from poor cylinder sealing

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the cylinder bore is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the bore diameter matches the 74.00 mm specification for proper ring fit. The rings are standard size and do not require file fitting. Carefully orient the rings according to the face design: the top ring with barrel face and the second ring with reverse torsional face. Use proper ring compressors and follow manufacturer torque specifications during piston installation to avoid damage.
