3.6.17. PISTON RINGS
• Install the three piston rings one by one in the cylinder
area with original diameter. Use the piston to set the
rings at right angles to the cylinder axis.
• Measure rings opening with a feeler gauge.
• If the permitted values are exceeded, change the rings.

NOTE Before changing only piston rings, make sure that the rings-piston groove and piston-cylinder clearance values
are observed. Installing new piston rings on a worn cylinder could result in non-standard bedding.
