13008-0569 Replaces Kawasaki 13008-7005
Kawasaki 13008-0569 superseded older 13008-7005 piston ring sets.
Many older Kawasaki engine parts diagrams still display 13008-7005 as the original piston-ring number. Current replacement catalogs direct those applicable installations to 13008-0569.
Older ring number: 13008-7005
Replacement ring number: 13008-0569
Standard vs. Oversize Kawasaki Piston Rings
Kawasaki piston/crankshaft diagrams clearly distinguish the standard ring set from the oversize service parts.
For example, an FS651V-CS20 diagram lists:
- 13008-0569 – RING-SET-PISTON
- 13025-7009 – RING-SET-PISTON L,0.5
- 13029-7010 – PISTON-ENGINE L,0.5
The lack of the L,0.5 designation on 13008-0569 identifies it as the standard-size service ring set for that configuration.
Do not use 13008-0569 with an engine that has been machined for the 0.5 oversize piston configuration.
The corresponding oversize ring set is 13025-7009.

Because piston configuration can vary by engine specification and production revision, verify the complete engine information before ordering a piston together with these rings.
Current Service-Part Status
There is currently some variation among OEM-parts catalogs. Several retailers continue to list 13008-0569 as an individually available ring set, while other current dealer catalogs show it superseded to 13001-6004 PISTON-ENGINE KIT.
If Carroll Stream inventory is genuine 13008-0569 stock, this listing remains appropriate for customers specifically requiring the separate standard-size ring set.
Do not describe 13001-6004 as simply another ring set. It is a PISTON-ENGINE KIT, while 13008-0569 is the standalone piston ring set.
