When Hastings® invented the revolutionary Flex-Vent oil ring in 1956, a
new era in piston ring technology began. It all started with the
introduction of Ford’s first V8 engine in 1932. The one-piece cast iron
oil ring was not suitable and no other manufacturer had developed an
oil ring that could control the oil in this new high compression engine.
Hastings® developed the then Steel-Vent oil ring and won immediate
acceptance by Ford and the aftermarket as the only piston ring to use
for proper oil control in Ford’s first V8 engine. Today, the Flex-Vent
oil ring has become the international standard in low friction and high
efficiency oil control, unmatched in quality and performance.
Hastings® also offers the broadest selection of moly, chrome and cast
iron compression rings with over nine different compression ring profile
designs. Hastings® advanced engineering provides intricate compression
ring and groove combinations that are motor engineered (matched) to
meet the unique operating conditions for each particular engine. Only
Hastings® can guarantee the right piston ring combination for every
engine application.
Hastings® compression rings, together with Flex-Vent oil rings provide
the ultimate piston ring set.
Other manufacturers attempt to play catch up and emulate Hastings®
original patented design but with nearly a 50 year head start, Hastings®
has perfected the piston ring development process beyond reproach.
That’s why the worlds biggest engine manufacturers: Chrysler, Ford, GM
and Honda all specify Hastings® as their piston ring of choice.
