Note
The top and second compression rings are different and are not
interchangeable (see Piston Rings - Assembly).
Piston rings must be removed from the piston using hand pressure only. Do
not overextend the piston rings during removal.
If the piston rings are to be reused, note the orientation of the oil control rings
prior to removal.
Remove the oil control rings and expanders.
3.
Note
If the piston rings are to be reused, keep them with their respective piston to
ensure they are refitted in their original locations.
Piston Ring - End Gap
Check each piston ring end gap as follows.
1.
Note
The piston ring end gap must be measured in the cylinder bore to which the
piston ring will be fitted to on installation.
Ensure all piston rings are fitted in their original locations (if original rings are
being reused) or to the piston/bore which the end gaps were checked (if new
rings are being installed).
2.
Position the piston ring into the top of the cylinder bore.
Using the piston crown, push the piston ring down into the bore (the piston will
keep the piston ring square) until the third groove of the piston is level with the top
of the bore.
Remove the piston and measure the gap between the ends of the piston ring,
using a feeler gauge.
