0 1 Insert each new piston ring into the cylinder bore, (1 Fig. 1) ensuring they are square in the cylinders and checkthe gap using a strip gauge (2 Fig. 1).
. If the gap is insufficient, then a small flat file or carborun- dum stone can be used on the butting ends of the ring. En- sure that after filing no burrs remain.
Ensure that the rings are not inter
-mixed after they
have been gapped and that each piston/ring assem- bly is matched to its respective bore.
Measure the piston skirt clearance using a long strip
gauge. Insert the strip gauge down the right-hand side of
the cylinder bore, insert the correct piston INVERTED into
the bore (with the piston pin parallel to the axis of the
crankshaft).
. Push the piston down the cylinder until it reaches its
tightest point in the bore. At this point, withdraw the strip
gauge; a steady resistance should be felt.
1 If the tolerances are outside those given in Service Data in
the Preliminary Pages, the pistons must be renewed as a
complete set.
