Piston rings

Piston rings ensure the piston can move smoothly within the cylinder. They also regulate oil consumption by preventing excessive oil from entering and burning in the combustion chamber. If a piston ring in your car is worn, it leads to higher oil consumption and reduced engine power. The burning oil often results in blue smoke coming from the exhaust.

If you suspect your piston rings are damaged, you'll want to replace them as soon as possible. Driving with damaged piston rings can cause significant engine damage due to oil leaking into the cylinder. Replacing a piston ring requires technical expertise. Several engine components need to be disassembled to access the piston rings.

Prefer to leave this to a professional? You can often save on material costs by supplying the correct parts yourself. This helps you avoid markups and gives you more control over your maintenance expenses. At Winparts, you can easily order the right piston rings for your car using your registration number.

Piston rings

Piston rings are located on the outside of the piston and ensure a tight seal between the pistons and the cylinder wall. This prevents pressurised combustion gases from entering the oil sump. It also ensures that the piston has the necessary pressure to move back up after the power stroke.
