into their respective grooves. Be extremely careful not to
over expand, twist rings or damage piston surface when
installing rings.
NOTE
Install second compression ring with dot towards top.

Figure 3-98.
Install rings so end gaps of adjacent
rings are a minimum of 90° apart. Ring gaps are not to
be within 10° of the thrust face centerline.

See
Figure 3-99.
Check for proper side clearance with
thickness gauge, as shown. See

If the ring grooves are clean and the side play is still not cor-
rect, replace the rings, the piston or both.
