Fig. 3-81
Measure the gaps of each piston ring with thick-
ness gauges.
Fig. 3-82
Replace the rings whose gaps are in excess of
the usable limit.
Standard value Usable limit
No.1
compression 0.25 – 0.40 mm 1.5 mm
ring
No.2
compression 0.25 – 0.40 mm 1.5 mm
ring

• Inspection of piston ring clearance in ring
grooves
Fig. 3-83
Clean ring grooves using a used piston ring.
Measure the clearance at the outer circumference
with thickness gauges as shown in the figure.
Standard value Usable limit
No.1
compression 0.25 – 0.40 1.5
ring
No.2
compression 0.25 – 0.40 1.5
ring
Oil ring 0.25 – 0.40 1.0
When the clearance exceeds the usable limit,
replace both piston and rings as an assembly.

The interference between the piston pin and pis-

pushed in smoothly at room temperature.
