micrometer.
d. If out of specification, replace the piston and
piston rings as a set.
e. Calculate the piston-to-cylinder clearance
with the following formula.

CHECKING THE PISTON RINGS
1. Measure:
• Piston ring side clearance
Out of specification → Replace the piston
and piston rings as a set.
IP
Before measuring the piston ring side clearance,
eliminate any carbon deposits from the piston
ring grooves and piston rings.
2. Install:
• Piston ring
(into the cylinder)
IP
Level the piston ring into the cylinder with the
piston crown.
