CYLINDER-PISTON COUPLING CLEARANCES.
Inspecting the piston rings
- Alternately insert the three sealing rings into the
cylinder, in the area where it retains its original di-
ameter. Using the piston, insert the rings perpen-
dicularly to the cylinder axis.
- Make sure that each single sealing ring evenly
adheres to the cylinder liner. If it does not, this
means the ring is worn. Replace it.
- Measure the opening (see figure) of the sealing
rings using a feeler gauge.
