End Gap






1. Measure gap between ends of piston ring with Feeler Gauge Set 303-D027 (D81L-4201-A) or equivalent. If ring gap is less or greater than specified limits, try another piston ring set.
2. Piston rings should be staggered on the piston to make sure the piston ring end gaps are not aligned.
