Piston Ring Fitting

Piston Ring Fitting







- Wipe the cylinder bore clean.

- Using a piston, to ensure that the ring is squared in the cylinder bore, slide the ring downward into the cylinder to a position 12 mm (0.50 in.) from the bottom of the cylinder bore.

- Using a feeler gauge (1), check the ring end gap. Replace any rings not within specification.












- Clean the piston ring grooves. Remove any nicks or burrs.

- Measure the ring side clearance as shown. Make sure the feeler gauge (1) fits snugly between the ring land and the ring. Replace any ring not within specification.
