Description
When your Ford 8N starts burning oil or loses compression, worn piston rings are usually the culprit. This complete piston ring set brings that reliable old workhorse back to proper compression and power. With the chrome top ring for extra durability and the right combination of compression and oil rings, you’ll restore that smooth idle and strong pull your 8N was known for.
What You’re Getting
- Chrome top compression ring for superior wear resistance and longer life
- Complete set with two 3/32″ compression rings and one 3/16″ oil ring for proper sealing
- Standard 3-3/16″ bore size fits most Ford 8N engines perfectly
- Quality TISCO brand construction that meets OEM specifications
- One complete set per cylinder – you’ll need four sets for a complete engine rebuild
Built for Real Farm Work
The Ford 8N tractors from 1948-1954 are still working farms across America, handling everything from brush hogging to cultivating small plots. These 25-horsepower utility tractors may not be the biggest on the block, but they’ve proven their worth for decades. When properly maintained with quality parts like these rings, they’ll keep chugging along for years to come.
Made to Last
The chrome-plated top ring resists scoring and wear better than standard cast iron rings. Chrome rings hold up especially well in dusty conditions where abrasive particles can quickly wear down regular rings. The precise dimensions and proper ring gap ensure a good seal without excessive blow-by or oil consumption.
Installation Notes
These are standard bore rings for engines that haven’t been bored over. If you’re doing a complete rebuild, now’s the time to check cylinder wear and consider having the block bored if needed. Make sure to gap the rings properly and use a ring compressor during installation. A quick tip – check your cylinder walls for scratches or ridges while you’ve got the pistons out.
