KRP3018 KMP Brand Piston Ring Set
The KRP3018 KMP Brand Piston Ring Set is supplied under part number KRP3018 for engines being rebuilt to restore compression and oil control.
About this part
Pistons, rings, pins and connecting rods turn combustion pressure into crankshaft rotation. Worn rings let gas blow past into the crankcase and oil past into the cylinder, which costs power and fuel and fouls the engine.
When to replace it
- Crankcase blow-by and oil mist from the breather
- High oil consumption with blue exhaust smoke
- Low or uneven compression readings
- Scored pistons or bores found on strip-down
Before you order
Gap new rings in the bore before fitting and stagger the gaps around the piston as the engine maker specifies.
Match the number stamped on the part you are removing, or the number in your engine or alternator manual, before ordering. Part numbers are shown for reference so the right replacement can be identified.
Questions
Does STD mean standard size?
Yes. STD parts suit an engine at original dimensions; oversize or undersize parts suit a machined bore or reground crank.
