Dont know the proper name of it had it a long time. It just a piece of sheet metel that is over laped in a cicrle and u open it up with a quarter inch rachet to put it around the piston and tighten it down with the rachet. Never had a problem with it before. Used it on some diesel tractors and just overhauled a jeep with no problems.
Called the company that i got the pistons and rings from and they told me to send the broke ring in and they would send it off to have it checked. Just never seen a ring that fragel.
