Hastings Piston Ring Sets: Cylinder Sealing for Everyone

Hastings has made its living making nothing but piston rings for over 100 years. This dedication to a single product means the Hastings ring set you use in your engine build is engineered and manufactured to be the best your money can buy.

Summit Racing carries a huge selection of Hastings Piston Ring sets for OEM rebuilds, street performance, truck, and racing engines, including direct-fit sets for late model performance engines and hard-working diesel engines. The Hastings website is chock-full of tech tips to help you choose the proper ring set for your application.

Stainless Steel Performance Ring Sets
These are Hastings’ best ring sets for high performance and racing engines, including direct-fit sets for GM LS and Mopar 5.7/6.1L Hemi engines. They have stainless steel, barrel-faced top rings that are gas nitrided for exceptional wear and scuff resistance. The ductile iron secondary rings are Napier-faced to improve oil control, and the Flex-Vent oil control rings minimize friction and improve high-RPM oil control.

Summit Racing also carries SNH stainless steel ring sets for high-horsepower, high-RPM import engines. They have the same top and secondary rings as the Stainless Steel rings, but have Flex-Vent oil control rings with nitrided stainless steel rails and expander for additional wear resistance.

Premium Ductile Ring Sets
These are the Hasting piston rings you want for your light- or medium-duty truck with a GM Duramax, Dodge Cummins, Ford Powerstroke, and Caterpillar 7.2L diesel engine. They’re also ideal for OEM rebuilds and mildly modified performance engines. The Premium Ductile sets have ductile iron top rings with a plasma-moly coating or a chrome-plated face. Plasma-moly is extremely scuff-resistant and provides excellent oil retention, while chrome prevents contaminants from embedding in the ring, making them ideal for engines that operate in dirty, dusty conditions.

Steel Series Performance Ring Sets
Hastings Steel Series Performance ring sets for high performance and race engines have top and secondary rings thinner and lighter than standard rings. That decreases reciprocating mass to let the engine rev quicker, and are perfect for late-model engines with pistons that have a short compression height. Other features include:

• Alloy steel top rings available with plasma-moly coating or chrome facing
• Secondary rings are torsional reverse-twist taper cast iron for better seating or Napier-faced ductile iron for improved oil control
• Chrome-plated Flex-Vent oil rings minimize friction and improve high-RPM oil control

Claimer Moly Series Performance Piston Ring Sets
These ring sets are an affordable choice for sportsman circle track and drag bracket racers. The cast iron top rings have a plasma-moly coating for excellent wear resistance, reduced scuffing, and oil retention. The rings also have a torsional positive twist for improved ring-to-cylinder wall sealing. The secondary rings have a manganese phosphate coating and a torsional reverse-twist taper face for improved sealing and oil scraping of the cylinder bores. Completing the set are Hastings Flex-Vent oil rings.

Standard Ring Sets
Hastings Standard piston ring sets come with cast iron top and secondary rings and chrome-plated carbon steel oil control rings. That makes them a great choice for a re-ring job on street engines suffering from excessive oil consumption and loss of power.
