or
replaced. The piston should be replaced as
necessary.
9. Place each compression piston ring in the
groove as shown
(Figure 6-67)
. Use a feeler
gauge to measure the clearance between the
piston ring and the piston ring land. Record the
measurements.
for specifications.
Replace the piston if not
within specification.

10. To measure piston ring end gap, insert each
compression piston ring

, one
at a time, into the cylinder. Use a piston with the
piston rings removed to slide the ring into the
cylinder bore until it is approximately 1.18 in.

Inspection of Connecting Rod
1. Measure the wrist pin bushing bore using a
bore gauge
(Figure 6-69, (1))
. Replace the
bushing if not within specifications. If the
bushing has been removed, measure the inside
diameter of the connecting rod small end
(Figure 6-69, (2))
. Record the measurements.
