- Measure piston-ring vertical clearance.
Piston-ring vertical clearance
- 1.1 Clean the ring groove on the piston.
- 1.2 Fit piston ring on the ring groove of the piston. > Piston-ring vertical clearance
- 1.3 Guide a feeler gauge into the gap between the piston ring and ring groove and determine the value. > Piston-ring vertical clearance
