Piston Rings

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1995 Dodge Ram Wagon, 1995 Dodge Ram Van, 1995 Dodge Pickup, and 1995 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ensure ring end gap and side clearances are within specification. See PISTONS , PINS & RINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Position piston ring gaps in proper location. See Fig 1. Compression ring gaps must be staggered so they do not align with oil ring rail gap. Ensure identification marks (drill point, letter "O", an oval depression or the word TOP) on compression rings face upward.
