Piston Rings

  1. Check piston rings for end gap and side clearance. Use an inverted piston to push ring down into bore. On worn bores, measure at lower end of bore. See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Lubricate pistons and rings. Install rings onto pistons. Stagger ring gaps. Compression ring gaps must be located 180 degrees from each other. Oil ring gaps must be equally spaced from each other.
