Description
When you notice your IH tractor smoking more than usual, burning oil, or losing compression, worn piston rings are usually the culprit. A tired engine doesn’t just waste fuel—it robs power when you need it most, whether you’re pulling through heavy ground or running a PTO implement. This complete ring set gets your engine back to sealing tight and running strong.
What You’re Getting
- Complete ring set for one cylinder with proper tension to seal combustion and control oil
- Three compression rings at 3/32 inch thickness for reliable sealing under pressure
- Two oil control rings at 3/16 inch thickness to keep oil where it belongs
- TISCO quality construction that meets or exceeds original equipment standards
- Precision-machined to fit 3-3/8 inch standard bore cylinders perfectly
Built for Real Farm Work
This ring set fits older International Harvester engines with the 3-3/8 inch bore commonly found in utility tractors and smaller row-crop machines from the ’50s and ’60s. These were the workhorses that handled everything from cultivating corn to running hay equipment, and they’re still earning their keep on farms today.
Made to Last
Farm engines work hard in dusty conditions with temperature swings that test every component. These rings are built with the right materials and spring tension to maintain proper sealing through thousands of hours of operation. Quality ring construction means better compression, less oil consumption, and more power to the drawbar.
Installation Notes
Ring installation requires the proper tools and a clean work environment—this isn’t a field repair. Take your time with ring gap measurements and use a quality ring compressor for installation. A quick tip: stagger the ring gaps around the piston so they don’t line up, which helps maintain the best seal possible.
