Piston Ring: Service and Repair
Service Procedures
SIDE CLEARANCE
Check the clearance between the piston ring and ring groove. If the limit is exceeded, replace the ring or piston, or both.
END GAP
Insert a piston ring into the cylinder bore. Force it down with a piston, its crown being in contact with the ring, to correctly position it at right angle
to the cylinder wall. Then, measure the end gap with a feeler gauge. If the end gap is excessive, replace the piston ring.
