Taper compression ring
A taper compression piston ring, catalog number 70-8047 (also E8047), for the cylinder/crankshaft area of the engine.
This is a taper compression ring, catalog number 70-8047, also listed under the older E8047 form. It shows up in the CYLINDER AND CRANKSHAFT section of the parts books, so it's a piston ring living in the bore, not a bottom-end bearing part despite the subsystem tag.

A taper-faced compression ring rides in one of the piston's ring grooves and works against the cylinder wall to seal combustion pressure and help control oil. That's true of any taper ring regardless of make or engine.
Our catalog record only ties this one to a single model year appearance, so we can't tell you which specific engine or bore size it was cut for. Call the shop with your bore diameter and we'll confirm before you order.
We've never carried this one. Tell us what you're after and we'll go looking — you'll get a price and photos before you commit to anything.
