Replace a Spare part Piston rings – a defective one or if the limit of use has been already reached. Find out useful information about Piston rings
Piston rings serve for pressurisation of the combustion chamber of a car engine, also for controlling lubricate amount between a piston and a cylinder, and for heat exhaust from a piston to cylinder walls.
5 tips on piston rings operation
Follow requirements of engine operation to get maximal lifetime of the piston rings. On average it is 100,000 – 120,000 car operational kilometres. Depending on quality of oil and fuel, as well as material, its life cycle can reach 150,000 km or decrease to 70 000 km.
Use only high-quality motor oil recommended by your car manufacturer and don’t forget to timely replace it.
Try to minimize operation of the car on rough roads, avoid traffic jams to prevent ingress of dust into the engine. Perform regular replacement of the air filter.
Warm up the car engine to working temperature before starting driving.
After replacement of piston rings kit you should operate the engine sparingly. It is not recommended to exceed 80 km/h speed during the first 1,000 kilometers, and 90 km/h – in range of 1,000 – 2,000 kilometers.
Defects of piston rings, their causes and signs
Premature wear of piston rings. The components wear out earlier predefined time due to usage of poor-quality fuel or oil, improper operation of oil or air filters, operation of the engine in extreme modes. Wear appears as colouring of exhaust gases into blue-grey color, unstable operation of the engine at idle. Moreover, oil consumption increases.
Deformation or tearing of piston rings. These defects may be caused by excessive engine loads, its overheating due to usage of poor-quality fuel. This leads to cylinder failure, appearance of smoke from the engine, loss of power and torque.
Soiling of piston groove. Continuous idles in car operation, usage of low-quality oil lead to this. With this defect oil consumption increases, cylinder compression fails, power worsens, blue or blue-grey smoke appears, the engine start is troubled.
