Piston Rings

  1. Install rings with "R", "RN" or "T" mark facing upward. On all models, install oil ring spacer first, then rails. Position piston ring gaps. See Fig 1. Lubricate all internal surfaces with engine oil before installation.
  2. Ensure arrow on piston head faces front of engine. Ensure oil hole in connecting rod faces intake side of engine. Install cylinder head, oil pick-up screen and oil pan. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure.
CAUTION: Install spacer gap more than 45 degrees from side rail gaps. Rails should turn smoothly when installed.
