Sealed Power Engine Piston Ring Set P/N:E-296K
Sealed E-296K 20 piston ring set for the 1975-1979 Ford F-150 V8 7.5L and other vehicles seals each piston against the cylinder wall. This engine piston ring set is an oversize set for eight-cylinder engines, with specifications that meet or exceed OEM.
Rising oil use, blue smoke from the exhaust or weak compression can mean the rings are worn, though worn valve stem seals or a faulty PCV valve can be behind them too, so find the actual cause before you buy rings. A shop can run a compression test.
It is listed for a wide range of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, led by the 1975-1979 Ford F-150 V8 7.5L, the 1983-1992 Ford F-250 V8 7.5L and the 1969-1971 Ford Mustang V8 7.0L, and each engine takes one set. Driving something else? Look up your year and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
