(2) Measuring piston ring gap
Press the piston ring onto a piston liner and measure
the piston ring gap with a gauge. Press on the ring
about 30mm from the bottom of the liner.
(3) Removing the piston rings
1) Thoroughly clean the ring grooves when removing
piston rings.
2) The side with the manufacturer’s mark should
face up.
3) After fitting the piston ring, make sure it moves
easily and smoothly.
4) Stagger the piston rings at 120° intervals, making
sure none of them line up with the piston.
