## 🔌 Function

The ring set seals combustion pressure, regulates cylinder-wall oil and transfers piston heat into the liner.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Blue exhaust smoke or high oil consumption
-   Broken or stuck rings
-   Cylinder glazing or scoring

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check the end gap of each ring in the bore it will run in and compare it with the figure in the workshop manual for your engine; a worn or rebored cylinder changes it
-   Fit the rings the right way up — where a face is marked or the section is stepped, that face goes towards the piston crown, and an oil control ring's expander must be fitted without overlapping its own ends
-   Use a ring expander rather than levering rings on with a screwdriver, and open them only as far as they need to go; cast rings snap and the groove edges nick easily
-   Stagger the ring gaps round the piston as the manual for your engine directs, so that no two gaps line up
-   Oil the rings, bore and compressor lightly, enter the bore with a ring compressor, and never force the piston in — if it resists, back it out and find out why
