Compression ring

A one-piece sealing ring with an overlapping joint designed to prevent blow-by in either new or worn cylinders. The alloy sealing member is permanently bonded along its entire length and will neither break nor come off. The angular design of the sealing member and its recess holds BOTH ENDS of the ring together in perfect alignment as pressure is applied. The greater the pressure, the tighter the sealing tongue is locked in its recess, forming an unbroken circle without any protrusion which could cause scoring or port clipping. This ring is highly recommended for most types of internal combustion engines and hydraulic equipment.
