f. Fitting Piston Rings
(1)
Insert top piston ring inside cylinder liner in normal area of ring travel. Use a piston skirt to
push ring down to insure ring is parallel with top of liner. Measure ring gap with feeler gage.
Refer to Table 4-3 for ring gap specifications. Repeat procedure for balance of compression
CAUTION
File or stone both ends of
compression ring from outer surface
to inner surface to prevent chipping
or peeling of chrome plating on ring.
Ends of ring must remain square,
and chamfer on outer edge must be
approximately 0.015 inch.

appropriate groove of piston.
Refer to Table 4-3 for ring side
clearance specifications.
g. Assembly
