Technical Specifications and Design Features

This Sealed Power piston ring set (part number E-916K) is engineered for engines with a 90.20 mm bore diameter, commonly found in Ford F-150, Lincoln Navigator, and Mercury Mountaineer models. The set includes rings for all eight cylinders, ensuring a complete rebuild solution. The top ring is crafted from steel with a molybdenum coating, providing enhanced wear resistance and sealing capabilities. The barrel face design of the top ring improves ring-to-cylinder wall contact, reducing blow-by and oil consumption.

The second ring is made from grey iron and features a reverse torsional face design, which helps maintain ring tension and improves oil control. The oil ring is a 3-piece flex vent design with a 3.00 mm width, optimized for effective oil scraping and distribution. These combined features contribute to improved engine compression and reduced oil consumption in vehicles such as the Ford Explorer Sport Trac and Lincoln Town Car.
