Description

This authentic OEM set of standard replacement rings attach to the pistons of a combustion engine and act as a seal to keep gas from escaping. If gas escapes from the piston, there will not be enough pressure to drive the piston upwards. Piston rings also help to transfer heat away from the piston so that the engine does not overheat and scrape away oil that's built up in the combustion chamber. These rings take a lot of abuse both from scraping and heat, so over time they may wear out or break. If piston rings break, the engine will produce low acceleration because the pistons cannot push the crankshaft. Other signs include greyish white smoke and built up oil. To replace a piston ring, first remove the pistons from the engine. These high-quality replacement rings are sourced from their original manufacturer and will work with Toro and Briggs & Stratton engines. This set includes three rings and no other additional hardware.
