Gasket sets & piston rings

Gasket sets and piston rings are important parts for engine rebuilds, repairs and complete engine builds, where sealing, compression and reliability must be in order.

Gasket sets are used to seal between the engine’s various joints and components, so that oil, coolant, compression and combustion stay where they are supposed to be. This can be relevant when rebuilding the cylinder head, bottom end, valve cover, intake, exhaust or other parts of the engine where old gaskets should not be reused. A good gasket set is important to avoid leaks and to ensure correct engine assembly.

Piston rings are a central part of the engine’s internal construction and are important for compression, oil control and sealing between the piston and cylinder wall. With worn piston rings, the engine can develop problems with compression, oil consumption, smoke and generally poorer operation. That is why piston rings are often an important part of an engine rebuild or build where correct function and stable performance are required.
