5. Measure connecting rod small end ID. Replace crankshaft if

piston and rings if ring-to-groove clearance exceeds service
limits.

2. Measure the gap with a feeler gauge at both the top and
bottom of the cylinder.
NOTE: Measure at two points in the cylinder
A difference in end gap indicates cylinder taper.
The cylinder should be measured for excessive taper
and out of round.
3. If the installed gap measurement exceeds the limit, replace
the rings. If using new rings and the measurement is too small,
file the ring ends to achieve the proper gap.
NOTE: Always check piston ring installed gap after
re-boring a cylinder or when installing new rings. A
re-bored cylinder should always be scrubbed
thoroughly with hot soapy water, rinsed, and dried
completely. Wipe cylinder bore with an oil rag
immediately to remove residue and prevent rust.
