Chevrolet Caprice Piston Ring
Piston Ring is vital components in Chevrolet Caprice cars, its primary roles are to acting as a seal to retain combustion gases, promote heat exchange and control oil intake. These metal bands are usually forged of cast iron or steel so that they provide as low friction as possible and still have outstanding sealing ability- which is very important for the efficiency of the engine and its working life. Through the many years Chevrolet Caprice has employed several Piston Ring designs with the modern tendency of going thin in order not only to cut down the friction but also to make a more efficient seal. These advanced rings may also incorporate such things as plasma-moly or chrome for improved wear characteristics. The configurations are two compression rings, and one or more scraper or oil control rings located at the bottom of each piston for extreme use across various operations.
