    IMPORTANT:
    • Do not attempt to file the end of the piston ring to achieve the proper end gap clearance.
    • Measure the piston ring in the cylinder in which it will be used.
  1. Place the piston ring into the cylinder bore 6.5 mm (0.25 in) below the top of the ring travel area. Both rings should be installed with the orientation marks facing the top of the piston.
  2. Insert a feeler gage and measure the piston ring end gap. Refer to Engine Mechanical Specifications (RPO LY2 VIN C) or Engine Mechanical Specifications (RPO LMG VIN 0) or Engine Mechanical Specifications (RPO LY5 VIN J) or Engine Mechanical Specifications (RPO LC9 VIN 3) or Engine Mechanical Specifications (RPO L76 VIN Y) or Engine Mechanical Specifications (RPO LY6 VIN K) or Engine Mechanical Specifications (RPO L92 VIN 8) .
