🔌 Function

Seals the piston to the cylinder wall, holding compression above the piston and controlling the oil film below it.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Blue smoke, particularly on overrun and at start-up
• Oil consumption rising with no external leak
• Low or uneven compression across cylinders
• Crankcase pressure pushing oil out of the breather or filler
• Rings found stuck in their grooves or broken on strip-down

🛠️ Service Notes

• The serial breakpoint is the deciding detail here, as this kit is for engines up to serial number 2160022233, so check the engine number before ordering
• Measure ring gap and groove clearance during fitting instead of assuming the bore is serviceable
• Piston ring kit 3827149 is the other kit in this section at 0.118 kg for TWD and TD applications
