Sealed Power Engine Piston Ring Set P/N:E-251K 40
Sealed E-408K 40 piston ring set for the 1980-1984 Buick Electra V6 4.1L and other vehicles seals each piston against its cylinder wall. The set is 0.040 in oversize, covers six cylinders and meets or exceeds OEM specifications.
Worn piston rings can show up as oil use, blue exhaust smoke or low compression. Before you replace a ring set, rule out other sources of the same oil use and smoke, such as worn valve seals or a leaking gasket, so you fix the right problem.
