Enginetech R36854-040 Cast .040″ Oversize Piston Ring Set for 1980-1994 Ford 2.3L-4.2L 140-255ci I4 – Complete Engine Ring Set

Description

Enginetech R36854-040 is a cast .040″ oversize piston ring set for 1980-1994 Ford 2.3L-4.2L 140-255ci I4 engines, sold as a complete set covering all cylinders.

Important Notes:

• Sized for cylinders bored .040 inch oversize. Verify your finished bore diameter with a precision gauge before ordering – rings sized for the wrong bore will not seal correctly.
• File-fit and gap each ring to the manufacturer’s end-gap specification for your application before installation. Improper end gap causes blow-by or ring-end butting under heat.
• Replace piston rings as a complete set during any rebuild. One set covers all cylinders for the engine.
• Two sets required

Sold as a complete piston ring set – one set covers all cylinders and is required per engine.

Enginetech piston ring sets are manufactured to OEM specifications and offered in both premium and cast grades to match the demands of stock rebuilds and moderate-performance builds. Each set is application-specific, with ring widths and end-gap characteristics matched to the bore and groove geometry of the engine family it serves. Ring sets are sold by bore size – standard for unmachined bores, with oversizes for blocks that have been bored and honed – so verify your finished bore diameter with a precision gauge before ordering, since rings sized for the wrong bore will not seal correctly. Always file-fit and gap each ring to the manufacturer’s specification for your application, and replace rings as a complete set during any rebuild. Enginetech documents every set with the ring stack dimensions, bore size, and cross-references so the correct set reaches the bench the first time.
