Fiesta Ka Courier 1.6L Steel Piston Rings XS6E Part Number 10.5X10.5X4 CM

What is a piston ring?

A piston ring is a split ring that fits into a groove on the outer diameter of a piston in a reciprocating engine such as aninternal combustion engine or steam engine.

Most automotive pistons have three rings: The top two while also controlling oil are primarily for compression sealing (compression rings); the lower ring is for controlling the supply of oil to the liner which lubricates the piston skirt and the compression rings (oil control rings). At least two piston rings are found on most piston and cylinder combination. Typical compression ring designs will have an essentially rectangular cross section or a keystone (right angled trapezoidal) cross section. The periphery will then have either a barrel profile (top compression rings) or a taper napier form (second compression rings or scraper rings). There are some taper faced top rings and on some old engines simple plain faced rings were used.

Piston Rings critical quality

The piston might be a fairly loose fit in the cylinder. If it were a tight fit, it would expand as it got hot and might stick tight in the cylinder. If a piston sticks (seizes) it could cause serious damage to the engine. On the other hand, if there is too much clearance between the piston and cylinder walls, much of the pressure from the burning gasoline vapour will leak past the piston (a condition known as blow-by) and into the crankcase, and the push on the piston from combustion will be much less effective in delivering power.

Product description

Located between the cylinder and the piston, piston rings are necessary components that allow the engine to operate efficiently.

1. Piston rings maintain gas compression between the piston and the cylinder wall.

2. Piston rings usually make necessary minimum lubricating oil film for preventing scuffing.

3. Piston rings transfer heat from the piston crown to the cylinder.

4. Piston rings prevent the piston from knocking on the cylinder wall.
