- Lubricate with new engine oil to piston and piston ring, and then insert piston ring until middle of cylinder with piston, and measure the piston ring end gap with feeler gauge.
Standard:
Top ring: 0.23 - 0.33 mm (0.0091 - 0.0130 in)
2nd ring: 0.33 - 0.48 mm (0.0130 - 0.0189 in)
Oil ring: 0.20 - 0.50 mm (0.0079 - 0.0197 in)
Limit:
Top ring: 0.56 mm (0.0220 in)
2nd ring: 0.68 mm (0.0268 in)
Oil ring: 0.85 mm (0.0335 in)
- If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace piston ring, and measure again.
