WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Insert piston ring into the cylinder from the top to about 15 mm from the lower edge of the cylinder at a right angle to the cylinder wall. Piston-ring end clearance
Use a piston with no piston rings to slide it in.
- Measure piston-ring end clearance.
Piston-ring end clearance
- 2.1 Guide a feeler gauge into the gap on the piston ring and determine the value. Piston-ring end clearance
| Piston ring | New in mm | Wear limit |
|---|---|---|
| 1. compression ring | 0.30-0.40 | 0.60 |
| 2. compression ring | 0.40 - 0.50 | 0.70 |
| Oil scraper ring | Cannot be measured | |
