Description

When you’re dealing with low compression, oil burning through the exhaust, or that telltale blue smoke on startup, worn piston rings are usually the culprit. Your 164 cubic inch 3-cylinder diesel depends on good ring seal to maintain compression, keep oil where it belongs, and deliver the power you need for your work. This complete piston ring set gets your engine breathing right again.

What You’re Getting

Complete ring set for one cylinder with three rings – one keystone compression ring, one standard compression ring, and one oil control ring
Precision-machined for exact 4.02 inch bore fit with proper ring gap and tension
Quality construction that handles the heat cycles and pressure of diesel operation
Direct replacement for serial number 179601 and up engines

Built for Real Farm Work

This ring set fits the reliable 164 CID 3-cylinder diesel that’s found in compact and utility tractors across many brands. These engines are workhorses in smaller operations – perfect for hay equipment, loader work, mowing, and light tillage. They’re sized right for the jobs that don’t need a big tractor but still demand dependable power day after day.

Made to Last

Diesel engines are hard on rings with their high compression ratios and combustion pressures. These rings are built to handle that punishment with materials and coatings designed for diesel service. The keystone-style top ring especially helps reduce carbon buildup in the ring groove, keeping everything sealing properly longer.

Installation Notes

Ring installation requires the right tools and careful attention to ring orientation and gap positioning. Make sure to stagger the ring gaps around the piston and check your cylinder bore for taper or out-of-round before assembly. A good ring compressor makes the job much easier and prevents ring breakage during installation.
