INSPECTION (Continued)
7. Visually inspect piston rings.
a. Look for scuffing, scoring, chipping, scratches or abrasions. Pay particular attention to
rings that were found to be sticking in the piston ring grooves.
b. Replace any rings that are scuffed, scored, chipped, or abraded.
NOTE
The width of the top piston ring cannot be accurately measured.
When ring is installed in fixture, the end gap is the only measurement
for the top ring.
8. Measure the width of intermediate compression rings (2) and oil control ring (3). Replace
rings that do not meet the following limits.
