The piston ring is a sealing device used for the piston of a car engine. The piston ring is usually made of metal material, and its main function is to seal the gap between the piston and the cylinder to prevent gas leakage in the combustion chamber.

The piston ring is usually composed of three parts: the gas ring, the sealing ring and the oil ring. They are installed at different positions of the piston and have different functions.

Compression Ring: The gas ring is also called the compression ring, which is the upper ring in the piston ring. The gas ring is located closest to the top of the piston. Its main function is to seal the gap between the piston and the top of the cylinder to prevent high-pressure gas from leaking from the piston to the outside of the cylinder, and it can also reduce friction and wear.

Scraper Ring: The sealing ring generally refers to the middle ring, which is located between the gas ring and the oil ring. The main function of the sealing ring is to seal the gas and lubricating oil in the cylinder to prevent them from leaking out of the cylinder, and it also has the function of sweeping the lubricating oil.

Oil Ring: The oil ring refers to the lower ring in the piston ring, also called the third ring. The oil ring is located closest to the bottom of the piston. Its main function is to seal the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall to prevent the lubricating oil from entering the combustion chamber. At the same time, it can also help the lubricating oil flow back to the oil pan again to keep the piston parts lubricated.

  • How to Correctly Replace the Piston Ring:
  1. Preparation:
  • Ensure the engine is cool before starting the replacement process.
  • Disconnect the battery and remove any electrical components near the engine.
  • Drain the engine oil and coolant to access the pistons.
  1. Remove the Cylinder Head:
  • Remove the cylinder head to gain access to the pistons and piston rings.
  • Carefully detach the old piston rings using a ring expander tool or by gently prying them out.
  1. Cleaning and Inspection:
  • Thoroughly clean the piston grooves using a piston ring groove cleaner to remove any carbon deposits or debris.
  • Inspect the pistons for any signs of wear, damage, or scoring that may require further attention.
  • Installation of New Piston Rings:
  • Install the new piston rings by carefully expanding them and sliding them into the piston grooves.
  • Ensure that the piston rings are correctly positioned and have the proper end gap alignment.
  • Precautions for Replacing the Piston Ring:
Handle piston rings with care to prevent damage during installation.
Use the correct tools and equipment for the replacement process to avoid any mishaps.
Double-check the alignment and positioning of the new piston rings to prevent any compression or oil leakage issues.
  • Signs that the Piston Ring Needs to be Replaced: 
Excessive oil consumption and blue smoke from the exhaust.
Loss of engine power and performance.
Compression loss in the engine cylinders.
Engine misfires and rough idling.
