Inspection procedure
Inspection: Mitsubishi 6M70 Piston ring end gap
• Using the crown of a piston, push the piston ring horizontally into
a cylinder in the crankcase until it reaches the lower part of the
cylinder liner, where there is relatively small wear.
• Taking care not to move the piston ring, measure the end gap.
• If the measurement exceeds the limit, replace all the piston rings
as a set.
