CHECKING THE PISTON RINGS
1. Measure:
• piston ring side clearance
Out of specification
→
Replace the pis-
ton and piston rings as a set.
NOTE:
Before measuring the piston ring side
clearance, eliminate any carbon depos-
its from the piston ring grooves and pis-
ton rings.
Piston ring side clearance
Top ring
0.030 ~ 0.065 mm
<Limit>: 0.115 mm
2nd ring
0.020 ~ 0.055 mm
<Limit>: 0.115 mm
2. Install:
• piston ring
(into the cylinder)
NOTE:
Level the piston ring in the cylinder with
the piston crown.
