1. Place NEW piston ring into cylinder bore. Using a piston, push ring into smallest part of cylinder bore. Measure ring end gap. If ring end gap is too large, use an oversize ring. If ring end gap is too small, file material from end of ring. See «PISTONS, PINS & RINGS»(ref-49505-S27093090402001011500000) under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
