Fitting Rings
- Place piston rings squarely into cylinder bore about 5/8" from bottom of bore. Use a feeler gauge to measure ring end gap.
- With rings installed on piston, use a feeler gauge to measure ring side clearance. Take measurement around entire circumference of piston, between top of ring and ring land.
- Install rings on piston with "TOP" mark facing upward. Recessed edge on outside of center ring must face piston pin. Space ring end gaps 120° apart.
