Piston Ring Set 4.040 Gapls Top 1/16 1/16 3/16

The Piston Ring Set 4.040 Gapls Top 1/16 1/16 3/16 is an essential component for high-performance engine builds requiring superior combustion sealing. Designed by Total Seal, these rings cater to automotive enthusiasts and professional engine builders looking to maximize efficiency in 8-cylinder platforms. By utilizing a gapless top ring design, this set ensures that blow-by is minimized, which preserves horsepower and maintains consistent cylinder pressure. This kit is specifically engineered for engines with a 4.040-inch bore size, providing a reliable solution for those seeking peak mechanical performance.

Constructed from durable ductile iron with a natural finish, these rings are built to withstand the intense heat and pressure found within modern combustion chambers. The Piston Ring Set 4.040 Gapls Top 1/16 1/16 3/16 features a file-fit design, allowing builders to precision-tune the ring gaps for their specific application and heat cycle requirements. The set includes a 1/16-inch top ring, a 1/16-inch second ring, and a 3/16-inch oil ring, all operating at standard tension to balance friction reduction with effective oil control. This combination of materials and thicknesses provides a robust seal that enhances the longevity of the engine's internal components.

This Maxseal series kit is ideal for racing or high-performance street applications where every ounce of power matters. Because these rings are file-fit, they require professional installation to ensure the clearances are perfectly matched to the 4.040-inch bore. Users will benefit from improved vacuum and cleaner oil, as the gapless technology significantly reduces the contamination of the crankcase by combustion gases. Whether you are refreshing a competition block or building a new 8-cylinder engine, this kit offers the technical specifications needed for a high-quality, long-lasting seal.
