Piston Ring Life Expectancy

08 Oct 2023 17:12

Is there an established or assumed average mile service life for new pistons/rings when properly fitted to a freshly bored cylinder block in a KZ four cyl engine?

100,000 miles! This assumes a properly tight piston to cylinder clearance, which should be something in the .0025" range.
