Piston Ring: Service Precautions

CAUTION:
Used piston rings should not be transferred from one piston to another, regardless of mileage or piston ring failure may occur.

NOTE:
Ring Expander
Always use a piston ring expanding tool to install rings on a piston.

Cylinder De-Glaze
If installing new piston rings in a used cylinder that has not been refinished, remove the cylinder wall glaze only using spring-loaded Engine Cylinder Hone Set T73L-6011-A. Remove only if there is no visible sign of cross-hatch markings on the cylinder walls.
