to5/8in) from top of cylinder.
NOTE: In order to correctly position the ring in the
cylinder, use piston as a pusher.
Using a feeler gauge, check ring end gap. Replace
ring if gap exceeds above described specified
tolerance.
Ring Installation
For installation, reverse the removal procedure.
Pay attention to the following details.
NOTE: Use a ring expander to prevent breakage
during installation. The oil ring must be installed
by hand.
NOTE: First install spring and then rings of oil
scraper ring.
