Sealed Power Engine Piston Ring Set P/N:E-296K
Sealed Power E-296K 40 piston ring set for the 1975-1979 Ford F-150 V8 7.5L and other vehicles seals each piston against its cylinder wall. Each Sealed Power piston ring in the set is made to OEM specifications or better.
Worn rings can go with blue exhaust smoke, oil use between changes or low compression. Those signs alone do not prove the rings are the problem, since worn valve stem seals can also burn oil. This listing is one set, with rings for each of the engine's eight cylinders.
It is listed for a wide range of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models. They include the 1983-1992 Ford F-250 V8 7.5L and the 1969-1971 Ford Mustang V8 7.0L. Look up your own year, model and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
