    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.
  2. Insert a feeler gage and measure the piston ring end gap. Refer to Engine Mechanical Specifications .
