4) Installation of piston rings and oil ring
(1) Install oil ring spacer, upper rail and lower rail in this
order by hand. Then install second ring and top ring
with a piston ring expander.
(2) Position the top ring gap at A or B in the Figure.
(3) Position the second ring gap at 180°on the reverse
side for the top ring gap.

(4) Position the upper rail gap at C or D in the Figure.
(5) Position the expander gap at 180°of the reverse
side for the upper rail gap.
(6) Position the lower rail gap at E or F in the Figure.
CAUTION:
Ensure ring gaps do not face the same direction.
Ensure ring gaps are not within the piston skirt area.
