Piston Ring Gap & Grove Clearance

RING GROOVE CLEARANCE









Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the new piston ring and the wall of the ring groove.

PISTON RING END GAP






(a) Using a piston, push the piston ring a little beyond the bottom of the ring travel, 110 mm (4.33 in.) from the top of the cylinder block.






(b) Using a feeler gauge, measure the end gap.
