A waterjet piston backup ring is a type of piston ring that is used to help prevent oil from leaking past the piston in an engine. Piston rings are located on the outer surface of the piston and form a seal between the piston and the cylinder wall. The waterjet piston backup ring is typically installed behind the main piston ring and helps to provide additional support to the piston ring, which can help to prevent it from becoming misaligned or damaged. It is designed to provide a more robust seal against the cylinder wall, which can help to prevent oil from leaking into the combustion chamber and burning off, which can lead to increased emissions and reduced engine performance.

Backup rings are commonly used in high-performance engines or engines that operate under extreme conditions, such as those used in racing or heavy-duty industrial applications. They are often included as part of a complete piston ring set and can be purchased separately if needed. The main purpose of a piston backup ring is to support the main piston ring and help prevent oil from leaking past the piston.

Backup rings are typically installed behind the main piston ring to provide additional support and help maintain the proper position of the main ring. This is important because the main ring can become misaligned or distorted over time, especially in high-performance engines or engines that operate under extreme conditions. The waterjet piston backup ring helps to prevent this by providing a more robust support structure that helps to keep the main ring in place.
