File fit sets are available in the performance racing rings only.
Compression rings have an inside bevel - which way does the bevel go?
ID bevel rings should have a dot to indicate the top of ring. Positive twist rings ID bevel up, whereas negative twist rings ID bevel down so be sure to check for the dot.
Do I need to know the radial wall of the ring set before I purchase the set?
The ring set for the engine is manufactured to fit the OE engine application, so you do not need to know the radial wall.
Does my ring set have a Low Tension oil ring?
A Hastings oil rings are manufactured to fit the OEM requirements, meaning if the original ring set had lower tension the Hastings set will also have lower tension. With performance ring sets and motors the tension is listed in the
performance catalog.
Does my ring set have the SHALLOW OIL RINGS (my piston is shallow)?
If the ring set was selected based on the year, make and engine model, the correct rings will be in the set if shallow oil rings are needed for that engine.
