How To Choose the Best Piston Ring for Your Application

Traditional piston ring sizing has been in fractional inch measurements. You&#;ll typically find top and 2nd rings in 5/64-inch, 1/16-inch, or .043-inch sizes, with oil rings typically in the 3/16-inch size. Modern engines moved to metric ring measurements of 1.5mm to 1.0mm for top and second rings with 3.0 to 2.0mm oil rings. These ring thicknesses have been the norm for decades, but moving to a thinner ring package has shown several advantages. With custom pistons, you&#;ll find types of piston rings as thin as .5mm (.020 inch). The thinner rings provide some great benefits, including increased horsepower and torque while reducing weight and compression height. Significant power gains can be had from utilizing thinner, modern rings and piston designs. While it has been more critical to use the proper piston ring installation pliers on thicker rings, we highly recommend that you use the same tool on thinner rings as well. The only types of piston rings that are OK to be &#;spiraled&#; onto the piston are the oil ring&#;s top and bottom rails. Never spiral the compression rings onto a piston.
