Piston Ring End Gap

PISTON RING END GAP

CAUTION:Use care when fitting piston rings to avoid possible damage to the piston ring or the cylinder bore.
NOTE:Piston rings should not be transferred from one piston to another.
NOTE:The cylinder bore must be within specification for taper and out-of-round.
NOTE:See Specifications.






1. Use a piston without rings to push a piston ring in a cylinder to the bottom of ring travel.






2. Use the Feeler Gauge Set to measure the top piston ring end gap and the second piston ring end gap.
