2. Insert each valve into its original location.
3. Install the valve springs with the painted end of the
spring facing away from the cylinder head.
NOTE: If the paint is not visible, install the ends of the
springs with the closest wound coils toward the head.

4. Place a spring retainer over the valve springs; then
using the valve spring compressor, compress the
valve springs and install the valve cotters.
PISTON ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Whenever a piston or pin is out of tolerance,
it must be replaced.
Removing Piston Rings
1. Starting with the top ring, slide one end of the ring
out of the ring-groove.
2. Remove each ring by working it toward the dome of
the piston while rotating it out of the groove.

Cleaning/Inspecting Piston
1. Take an old piston ring and snap it into two pieces;
then grind the end of the old ring to a 45° angle and
to a sharp edge.
2. Using the sharpened ring as a tool, clean carbon from
the ring-grooves. Be sure to position the ring with its
tapered side up.
3. Using a non-metallic carbon removal tool, remove
any carbon buildup from the dome of the piston.
4. Inspect the piston for cracks in the piston pin, dome,
and skirt areas.
5. Inspect the piston for seizure marks or scuffing.
6. Inspect the perimeter of each piston for signs of
excessive “blowby.” Excessive “blowby” indicates
worn piston rings or an out-of-round cylinder.
Measuring Piston-Ring End Gap
(Installed)
1. Place each compression ring in the wear portion of
the cylinder. Use the piston to position each ring
squarely in the cylinder.
2. Using a feeler gauge, measure each piston-ring end
gap. Acceptable ring end gap must not exceed speci-
fications.
CC280D
Measuring Piston Pin (Outside
Diameter) and Piston-Pin Bore
1. Measure the piston pin outside diameter at each end
and in the center. If measurement exceeds specifica-
tions, the piston pin must be replaced.
CAUTION
Improper cleaning of the ring-grooves by the use of the
wrong type of ring-groove cleaner will result in severe
damage to the piston.
