This measurement can be made with used or new piston
rings.
1. 1st measurement:
Push the piston ring into the cylinder about 5 mm below the upper
edge of the cylinder and above the visible running surface of the piston
rings. Measure the end gap with a feeler gauge.
2. 2nd measurement:
Push the piston ring into the cylinder about 50 mm below the upper
edge of the cylinder and within the visible running surface of the piston
rings. Measure the end gap with a feeler gauge.
3. Calculate the difference between the end gaps from the 1st and
2nd measurements, and compare this with the values in the permitted
end gap differences table.
