Just make sure the piston ring grooves are clean of carbon, and install the new rings like the instructions state to.

ECB 6110-A is the ENGINEERING PN

B5A 6108-A is the SERVICE PN

You will need an OSI MANUAL to convert.

The various ring manufacturers do have different engineering in their rings so just follow their specific instructions.  Just be sure that top rings go into top grooves and if so marked, orientated properly in the piston grooves in regards to ‘TOP’.

another thing you will find is most aftermarket pistons will be down as much as .020 more in the hole than ford pistons
