What This Part Helps Address

• Low compression caused by worn or fatigued piston rings
• Excessive oil consumption from poor oil control
• Blow-by from reduced cylinder sealing
• Smoke from worn ring sealing surfaces
• Engine rebuild needs requiring standard-size ring dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the cylinder bore measures 102.00 mm and verify the ring groove widths match 3.0 x 2.4 x 4.0 mm before installation. Check ring end gap, ring orientation, and cylinder wall condition during assembly, and follow the engine builder’s service specifications for break-in and lubrication.

For fitment matching, use the Sealed Power E-983KC part number alongside the vehicle application details for 1998-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and Dodge Ram 3500 engines.
