AE & Non AE Pistons & rings?

What does AE or non AE even mean?

How does someone identifiy between the two?

This if for a 1983 XJ6 4.2L

AE is a brand name. AE makes pistons and piston rings as well as other engine parts. Think Federal Mogul here in the USA.

ENGINE PARTS (UK) LTD | Bearings, Gaskets, Bolts, Valves, Guides, Pistons, Rings etc

Thanks guys.

I was just checking.

I'm still pretty new to the community, so I'll be asking basic questions, until I start figuring stuff out, for myself.
