Usage:
D353 Industrial And Marine Engines;
D379, D398, D399 Industrial, Marine and Generator Set Engines
Description of Change: New piston ring assemblies (oil control) are used in the above engines. The new ring assemblies use a different spring to decrease the ring pressure against the cylinder liner. This permits increased oil flow to the top piston ring area. The result is improved ring and cylinder liner life.
Adaptable As: The new 1W5061 Ring Assembly is in effect with the Serial Numbers shown in Chart A. Chart B has the ring groups which are available for parts service.
