Oil control ring
An oil control ring for the piston, used to scrape oil off the cylinder wall during the rebuild of the engine's top end.
71-3695 is an oil control ring for the piston, listed under the crankshaft and connecting rods section of the parts books. Its job is to scrape excess oil off the cylinder wall on the downstroke and return it to the sump, keeping the engine from smoking or fouling plugs from too much oil getting past the piston.

The catalog record ties this part number to appearances spanning 1974 through 1980, but doesn't spell out which specific model or engine size it fits within that range. Piston ring sets are matched to bore size, so before ordering, check it against your piston or the rest of your ring set rather than going by the part number alone.
If you're rebuilding a top end and need the full ring set, let us know what you're running and we can make sure this one lines up with the rest of what you're ordering.
