Piston Ring Set supplies the sealing rings for one piston of the 3.5L V8 petrol engine, in standard (non-oversize) bore size.

The rings seal the piston against the cylinder bore to maintain compression and control oil consumption. This set covers a single piston and suits both the twin-carburettor and EFI versions of the 3.5L V8, across the 8.13:1 and 9.35:1 compression variants. A complete engine requires eight sets.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 3.5L V8 piston ring set for?

This piston ring set supplies the sealing rings for one piston of the 3.5L V8 petrol engine in standard bore size. The rings seal the piston against the cylinder bore to maintain compression and control oil consumption, and it suits both twin-carburettor and EFI versions.

How many piston ring sets do I need for the 3.5L V8?

You need eight piston ring sets for a complete 3.5L V8, as this set covers a single piston. Order eight if you're rebuilding the whole engine, or one per piston if you're replacing them individually.

Is this the standard size or an oversize ring set?

This is the standard, non-oversize piston ring set, for a 3.5L V8 with bores at their original size. If your block has been rebored you'll need the matching oversize rings instead, so check your bore size before ordering.

Which Land Rovers use this 3.5L V8 piston ring set?

This set fits the 3.5L V8 petrol engine in the Land Rover Series 3 (1979-1985 Stage 1 V8), Defender (1987-2006 twin carb), Discovery 1 (1989-1998, FA393361 to WA799999) and Range Rover Classic (1986-1991, to HA610293). Confirm your build against these ranges.

What are the signs of worn piston rings on the V8?

Worn piston rings on the 3.5L V8 typically show as high oil consumption, blue exhaust smoke and reduced compression or power. Rings are usually renewed during an engine rebuild once the bores have been checked and honed or rebored.
