CYLINDER/PISTON
11-8
INSPECTION
Inspect the piston rings for movement by rotating the
rings. The rings should
be
able
to
move
in
their grooves
without catching.
Push the ring until the outer surface
of
the piston ring
is
nearly flush with the piston and measure the ring-to-
groove clearance.

Insert each piston ring into the bottom of the cylinder
squarely using the piston.
Measure the ring end gap.
