PISTON RINGS

GENERAL:

The following rules pertaining to piston rings must always be complied with:

Always replace piston rings in sets.

When removing rings, use a ring expander to pre- vent breakage. Do not spread the rings too far or they will break.

When installing the piston into the cylinder, use a ring compressor. This wilt prevent ring breakage and/or cylinder damage.

When installing new rings, deglaze the cylinder wall with a commercially available deglazing tool.

RING DESCRIPTION:

A piston ring SET consists of (a) a top compression ring, (b) a second compression ring, and (c) an oil ring assembly. When installing rings, pay close atten- tion to the following:

The OIL RING is a 3-piece assembly which con- sists of two oil rails and an oil spacer ring. Oil rails have a rounded face and can be installed with either side up.

The second compression ring has an inside cham- fer which must face UP when installing the ring.

The top compression ring has a barrel-shaped face and can be installed with either side up.
