The top rings are now being supplied in steel with plasma sprayed molybdenum. The use of steel in the upper compression has many advantages. Steel provides 35% more strength, weighs 30% less and increases the resistance to side wear, which is observed on the newer model engines. Another feature from the increased steel strength is the insensitivity to breakage during improper ring installation.
The increased strength of steel over grey cast iron means that necessary tension can be achieved with less weight. This increased strength feature allows for producing high quality rings with reduced radial walls. Increased strength, reduced radial wall and lighter weight all improve the performance of the compression ring. Newer engines have higher RPMs and lighter rings that are more stable in the groove. Improved sealing is achieved by the steel compression rings conforming to the cylinder better.
Original equipment piston ring grooves and ring designs take into consideration the ring back clearance. It is thought that minimal ring back clearance improves overall performance of the engine. The power stroke gases energize the compression ring increasing the pressure against the cylinder wall, decreasing blow-by and increasing power. The concern that increased back clearance will adversely affect engine performance has been dismissed by engine testing. In summary, modern engines are insensitive to increased ring back clearance. The important features of piston rings are the correct axial width and optimal gap. Our piston rings are made with the correct axial width to make sure the correct side clearance is achieved, typically in the .0015” – .0025” range. Customers will not be affected by changing from a cast iron top ring to a steel top ring because our rings have adequate side clearance allowing the compression gases to energize the ring to operate properly. Customers can replace cast iron
top rings with steel top rings and get all the benefits conveyed in this bulletin.
No, use of a sealant like copper coat on Engines R Us Online head gaskets voids the warranty.
The following answer does not work for 100% of engines as there are always exceptions, but this is the majority case. Please always refer to your repair manual for verification. If the head gasket has an elastomer, the elastomer is typically installed toward the cylinder head. If there is a stamping such as “FRONT”, this side also is typically installed toward the cylinder head. The gaskets that have more exposed metal on the fire ring on one side, the more exposed metal side is installed toward the block.
