Sealed Power Engine Piston Ring Set P/N:E-458K
Sealed E-458K 40 piston ring set for the 1996-2000 Ford Explorer V8 5.0L and other vehicles seals combustion pressure and controls oil on the cylinder walls. The set meets or exceeds OEM specifications.
Heavy oil use, blue exhaust smoke or low compression can mean worn piston rings, though worn valve stem seals or a clogged PCV valve can also be behind the oil use and smoke, so find the cause before you order.
The 1996-2000 Ford Explorer V8 5.0L takes one set, which covers all eight cylinders. Fitment also includes the 1987-1996 Ford F-150 V8 5.0L, the 1993-1996 F-150 V8 5.8L and many other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.
