Description
When you’re hearing excessive blowby, seeing oil smoke at startup, or noticing power loss from your IH engine, worn piston rings are usually the problem. This complete ring set for 3-9/16 inch standard bore engines gives you everything needed for one cylinder, bringing back the compression and power your tractor had when it was new.
What You’re Getting
- Three compression rings at 3/32 inch thickness for proper sealing between piston and cylinder
- One oil control ring at 3/16 inch thickness to manage lubrication and prevent oil burning
- Quality TISCO manufacturing that meets original equipment standards
- All rings designed to work together for optimal engine performance and longevity
Built for Real Farm Work
This ring set is made for International Harvester 4-cylinder distillate engines with 164 cubic inch displacement, the reliable workhorses found in many classic IH tractors. These engines were the backbone of countless farming operations, powering everything from row-crop cultivation to heavy draft work. Whether you’re maintaining a restoration project or keeping a working tractor in service, proper ring seal is essential for reliable power.
Made to Last
TISCO rings are built to handle the temperature swings, dust, and hard work that define farm life. Each ring is manufactured to precise specifications with materials that resist wear while maintaining proper cylinder wall contact. The different thicknesses serve specific purposes – the thinner compression rings provide gas sealing while the thicker oil ring controls lubrication.
Good to Know
This set contains one complete cylinder’s worth of rings, so you’ll need additional sets for multi-cylinder engines. Ring installation requires proper cylinder preparation and precise gap measurement – if the bore is worn beyond service limits, you’ll need cylinder work before installing new rings. A ridge reamer and ring compressor tool make installation much easier and help prevent ring breakage.
