PISTON/CYLINDER INSTALLATION
First install the expander in the second ring
groove.
Then install the top and second rings in their
respective ring grooves.
The piston rings should be pressed into the
grooves with even force.
After installation, check and make sure that
each ring is flush with the piston at several
points around the ring.
A ring that will not compress means that the
ring groove has carbon deposits in it and
should be cleaned.
