Piston Ring: Service and Repair
PISTON RING
1) If the piston ring is broken, damaged or worn, or if its tension is insufficient, or when the piston is replaced, replace the piston ring with a new part
of the same size as piston.
NOTE:
-
The top ring and second ring have the mark to determine the direction for installing. When installing the ring to piston, face marks to the top side.
-
Oil ring consists of the upper rail, expander and lower rail. When installing oil ring on piston, be careful of the direction of each rail.
2) Using the piston, insert the piston ring and oil ring into the cylinder so that they are perpendicular to the cylinder wall, and measure the piston ring
gap with a thickness gauge.
3) Fit the piston ring straight into the piston ring groove, then measure the clearance between piston ring and piston ring groove with a thickness
gauge.
