With the piston rings correctly installed on the piston, check the ring-to-groove
clearance of each compression ring, using a feeler gauge.

Piston Ring-to-Groove Clearance Check
When checking the piston ring to groove clearance, always refer to the
specifications table (see Piston).
2.
Note
If the ring-to-groove clearance is too large, replace the piston rings with a new
set.
If the gap remains too large with new piston rings, the piston must also be
replaced.
If the gap is too small, check the piston ring grooves closely for distortion,
replacing the piston as necessary. Do not file the ring grooves.
Piston Rings - Removal
CAUTION
Do not expand the piston rings any more than is necessary to allow them to be
removed from the piston. The rings are brittle and will break if expanded too much.
Ease the top compression ring out of its groove and remove it from the top of the
piston.
1.
Remove the second compression ring in the same way.
