The ring gear must be installed with the chamfer facing the

Piston Ring Gap

assume if it were installed to the piston) into the cylinder
liner.
2. Push the piston ring into the cylinder bore until it reaches
the measuring point 1 or 2 where the cylinder liner bore is
the smallest.
Do not allow the piston ring to slant to one side or the
