______________________________________
[1]: Piston ring end gaps are checked with the piston rings inserted approximately 15 mm (5/8 in.) from the top of the cylinder.
[2]: Piston ring side clearance is checked using feeler gauges. Piston ring grooves should be thoroughly cleaned before checking ring side clearance. Measure each ring in its original groove.
