Sealed Power Engine Piston Ring Set P/N:E-979K
Sealed E-979K 20 piston ring set for the 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 V8 6.0L and other vehicles seals each piston against the cylinder wall. It also controls oil on the wall, and the set meets or exceeds OEM specifications.
Worn rings can show up as oil consumption, blue exhaust smoke or low compression. Valve seals and other engine wear can also burn oil, so read the dipstick on a cool, parked engine first and leave compression and leak-down testing to a shop before the engine is opened up.
This ring set fits the 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 V8 6.0L, the 2007-2013 GMC Sierra 1500 V8 6.0L and the 2008-2013 Chevrolet Tahoe V8 6.0L. The listing is one set for eight cylinders, and each engine takes one set. Driving a different 6.0L V8 model? Look up your year and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
