  1. Assemble the spacer of the oil ring into the piston ring groove. Then, assemble the upper side rail, and after this assemble the lower side rail.
    NOTE: Install the side rail and end gap of the spacer so that they are at the position as shown in the illustration.
    CAUTION: The side rail may be broken if its end gap is widened by a ring expander as in other piston rings.
