Tanaka Trimmer Engines

This replacement piston ring is an authentic OEM sourced component which is specially produced for use with Tanaka gas-powered lawn and garden equipment. A worn or a broken piston ring will allow combustion gases to escape the seal and enter the crankcase, causing low compression and a loss of power. If compression is reduced significantly, the engine will not run at all. Please note this high-quality part is made of durable metal and it is sold individually.

This piston ring is a small metal ring in an engine that seals the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall. It prevents the escape of combustion gases and maintains compression. When damaged, oil will leak into the combustion chamber and cause performance problems within the engine. You may experience rough running and a loss of power or notice that blue smoke is coming out from the exhaust when this happens. To remove the piston ring from your machine, you need to detach the piston from the engine. Using a small screwdriver, pry the damaged piston ring away from the piston and slide it off. Be careful not to scratch the piston nor the cylinder walls during this process. You may also need to compress the ring to remove or install it onto the piston. Please note that this authentic OEM replacement part is sold individually. It is recommended to replace your piston rings all at once as they wear out at the same rate, so be sure to read your user manual and confirm how many rings your machine will need.

This is a genuine Tanaka replacement part that is sourced from the original manufacturer to be used with small engines. The metal engine stand is used to support the fuel tank and to mound the assembly to the frame of the machine that the engine powers. This item is sold as an individual replacement part.
