Detroit Diesel Ring Sets for Two Valve, 71 Series Engines. Our piston rings are made from high quality metal alloys that deliver consistent and reliable performance, backed by our leading one-year warranty. With all Detroit Engines, the amount of space around the pistons is very small, requiring an expertly machined replacement part. This is why we built them to exacting measurements, which have been proven to work, even under the most strenuous circumstances. This ring set includes the rings needed for one piston.

Many customers who ultimately buy one of our Detroit Diesel ring sets, also buy a piston ring seal. This part keeps impurities from mixing in the compression chamber. Changing this part is relatively easy once the pistons are exposed, and so many chose to replace this item when the rings are being replaced.
