  1. CHAPTER 11 • PISTON RINGS • Page 295 Class • Page 306 Lab

  2. PISTON RINGS • Piston rings seal combustion pressures. • Piston rings control oil consumption. • Piston rings help cool the piston. • Most modern engines use 2 compression & 1 oil rings.

  3. RING OVERSIZES • Rings sizes are standard, .030”, .040”, .060”. • Metric sizes are standard, 0.50 mm, 0.75 mm, 1.0 mm,

  4. COMPRESSION RINGS • Compression rings are forced against the cylinder wall by combustion pressure at the top and back of the ring. • A square ring groove is a must. • Heavy rings tend to flutter.

  5. COMPRESSION RING DESIGN • There are many ring designs. See figure 10.32a. • The purpose of all designs is to cause the ring to contact the cylinder wall with a narrow part of the face. • This helps to cause quicker seating.

  6. TORSIONAL TWIST RINGS • A torsional twist ring is chamfered on its top inside edge. • A reverse twist ring is chamfered on its bottom inside edge. • A barrel faced ring has less than .001” curve to its face. • Low-tension rings - Have less depth than standard rings. • Deck plates are advised when honing thinwall blocks.

  7. RING COATINGS • Cast Iron is the common ring material. • Moly Rings - Have molten molybdenum sprayed on surface. • Chrome Rings - Have a chrome plated outer surface. • Moly barrel shaped top, reverse torsion second, 3 piece oil.

  8. PLASMA CERAMIC

  9. OIL CONTROL RINGS • 1 drop each power stroke = 1 quart every 2 miles. • Oil rings fail if they become plugged. • Reasons for failure improper maintenance, temp, lead. • Stainless steel expander with 2 chrome rails - common.

  10. RING WEAR • Major cause of ring wear is abrasion. • Causes of wear Honing grit, poor air filter, dirty oil. • Signs of abrasive wear are vertical scratches on rings.

  11. RING GAP CLEARANCE • Before installing rings check end gap. • Gap specs are in repair manual. • Gap will be .030” to much for each .010” error in size. • Too small a end gap can cause rings to seize in bore. Page 312 Fig. 11-67

  12. INSTALLING RINGS ON PISTONS • Rings may be installed by hand. • Rings may be installed with a ring expander. • Do NOT spiral rings onto pistons. • Do NOT overexpand rings during installation. • Install rings with I D marks up. Page 312 Fig. 11-70

  13. RING GAP POSITIONS • Place gaps at opposite sides of piston. • Dana says the reason for staggering gaps is to prevent scuffing. • Many opinions on gap placement. Page 315 Fig. 11-73

  14. OIL RING GAPS • Do NOT overlap ends of the expander. • Expander end gap over pin. • Rail end gaps 180 degrees apart.

  15. WRIST PINS • Pistons attach to rods with pins. • Oversize pins are not common today. Page 311 Fig. 11-64

  16. PIN RETAINING METHODS • Press fit is the most common. • dismount with a press and proper adapters. • Install with rod furnace.

  17. PIN RETAINING METHODS • Full floating pins - high performance. • Uses retaining rings to hold pin in place. • Opening in lock ring should face bottom of piston. • Be sure install piston on rod correctly.

  18. CONNECTING RODS • Made from forged or cast steel.
