Product Details

The MAHLE 42228.020 is a complete engine piston ring set engineered to OE standards, delivering industry-leading performance in friction reduction, oil control, and long-term engine durability. MAHLE is a globally recognized OEM supplier whose piston rings are found in many vehicles straight from the factory, making this set a trusted choice for professional rebuilds and high-quality engine restorations.

Key Features:

  • OE-Level Engineering: Designed to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer specifications for precise fit and function
  • Reduced Friction: Advanced ring geometry and surface coatings minimize friction for improved power output and fuel efficiency
  • Reduced Ring Mass: Lightweight construction reduces inertial loads on the piston, supporting higher engine speeds and lower wear rates
  • Minimized Oil Consumption: Precision-controlled ring tension and sealing profiles help prevent excessive oil burning
  • Extended Service Life: Durable materials and surface treatments resist wear and scuffing for long-lasting sealing performance
  • Complete Set: Includes all rings required for one engine rebuild application — compression rings and oil control rings

MAHLE piston rings are manufactured using the latest ring technology, making the 42228.020 an ideal choice for engine builders who demand reliability and precision. The .020 suffix indicates an oversize specification, designed for use with bored or worn cylinders that have been machined to 0.020" over the standard bore diameter.

Went well overall. I hope these fit my truck which are larger than the generic applications that fit 25 other vehicles except my truck. Every application I have received so far are about 2/3eds the size they should be for a truck application. Hope I won't have to send these back also. At present, I would be better off removing them from a junk yard.

website is user-friendly, prompt delivery, only negative was recent fuel pump purchase where the connection didn't match the original pump connection. This time I'm purchasing the original manufacturer pump, so we'll see...

quick, straight forward, and no BS.

Easy, but shipping is a little high.
