Parts for Yard-Man 12AE46M3001 / 2008: Engine Assembly Parts

This is a piston ring set that is compatible with a range of lawn and garden equipment. Piston rings create a seal between the cylinder wall and the piston, so the pressurized combustion gases do not leak. If the piston rings are going bad or have failed, owners may notice that the machine is using more oil. They may also see white or gray smoke coming from the machine's exhaust. The performance of the equipment will also decline.Piston rings can fail for many different reasons. They might not have enough lubrication, which could cause them to overheat and lose their tension. The piston rings could also fail if they are installed incorrectly. Machines with problematic piston rings will have trouble operating properly and will need to be replaced.This piston ring set can work with select chippers, lawn tractors, log splitters, snowblowers, mowers, and other engines from Yard-Man, Yard Machines, MTD, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, and Husky. The set is sold individually, and the genuine OEM parts have been sourced from the manufacturer.
