At Preston MOT & Garage, we understand the importance of a well-maintained engine for the smooth and efficient operation of your vehicle. The piston rings play a critical role in sealing the combustion chamber, maintaining proper compression, and preventing oil from leaking into the combustion chamber. Over time, piston rings can wear out or become damaged, leading to decreased engine performance, loss of power, increased oil consumption, and even engine damage.

Our skilled technicians at Preston MOT & Garage are equipped with the expertise and state-of-the-art tools necessary to provide high-quality piston ring replacement services, ensuring that your engine performs optimally and efficiently.

Signs that Your Piston Rings Need Replacement
Identifying the signs that your piston rings require replacement is crucial to prevent further damage to your engine. Here are some common indicators that it may be time for piston ring replacement:
- Loss of Power and Engine Performance: If you notice a significant decrease in your vehicle's power and overall engine performance, it could be due to worn-out or damaged piston rings. Faulty rings result in reduced compression, leading to a loss of power and sluggish acceleration.
- Excessive Oil Consumption: Are you finding that you need to top up your engine oil more frequently than usual? This could be a sign of worn-out piston rings. When the rings fail to seal the combustion chamber effectively, oil can leak into the combustion chamber and burn off during the combustion process.
