Piston Ring: Testing and Inspection
END GAP
1. Using a piston, push a new ring into the cylinder bore 15 - 20 mm (0.6 - 0.8 inch) from the bottom.
2. Measure the piston ring end-gap with a feeler gauge:
-
If the gap is too small, check to see if you have the proper rings for your engine.
-
If the gap is too large, recheck the cylinder bore diameter against the wear limits. If the bore is over the service limit, the cylinder block must
be rebored.
