Summit Racing™ Pro GPX Gas Ported Piston Rings

You may have heard of gas ported pistons in high-end racing engines. Summit Racing™ Pro GPX gas ported rings add this performance to ANY non-gas ported (or even gas-ported) piston. They are also a great way to juice up cast and hypereutectic pistons for little extra money. How do they work? With a series of perfectly oriented slots on the top side of the top piston compression ring, the combustion pressure reaches the inside the ring groove and fully activates the ring sooner and longer for better seal. This not only makes more horsepower; it dramatically reduces blow-by and reduces or even eliminates the need for a catch can. Other benefits? Because the rings are always rotating and directly exposed to the detergents in the oil, these ports stay clean without carbon buildup that fouls out gas ported pistons over time for longer term performance. Since the rings are only activated at high pressures and no part of the cylinder sees the load repeatedly, the engine will last a long time. Nearly all our Summit™ GPX gas ported rings use top-tier nitride steel top rings, ductile seconds, and premium quality stainless oil rings. Better yet, we have them in nearly every popular bore and thickness for virtually any brand or configuration on the market. If you want to pick up power and performance, Summit Racing™ Pro GPX gas ported piston rings are the new standard at a great value!

JE Pistons Pro Seal Piston Rings

JE Pistons Pro Seal piston rings feature barrel-faced top rings made from premium ductile iron. They also have a special high-tech, friction-reducing, plasma-moly inlay on the face that combines molybdenum, nickel, chrome, and trace elements. The results are higher temperature resistance, reduced wear, better ring sealing, and reduced flaking. The second rings are a taper-faced, reverse-torsional design with a special phosphate coating. The oil-control rings are available in your choice of either low or standard-tension types. Choose the set designed for fitment on your engine application.

Mahle Performance Piston Rings

Mahle Performance piston rings evolved from their pioneering use of piston ring simulation and computer development tools to develop rings that provide "free" horsepower by successfully minimizing friction. A large selection of coordinated piston ring sets is available in a variety of sizes, designs, materials, and coatings designed to exceed your high performance requirements. The difference is evident on the dyno and on the track. Features and benefits of Mahle Performance piston rings: * 1mm and 2mm steel top rings with patented HV385 supersonic thermal-spray process applied for superior bonding, increased durability, and increased scuff resistance * 1.5mm and 1/16 in. positive-twist, ductile iron, barrel-faced, plasma-moly inlaid top rings * Sport compact ring sets ranging from 81-100mm with steel-nitrided top rings * Traditional, reverse-twist, taper-faced (RBT) cast iron second rings * Tapered Hook Groove (THG) second rings that offer superior oil control when compared to traditional RBT rings * 3-piece style oil control rings in both standard and low tension * Standard-tension expanders are sold separately for select low-tension rings where increased oil control is necessary * CP-20 design oil rings that are easier to install; chemically polished for better oil drain-back with a 20 degree ear angle to ensure side seal around the ring
