PISTON ASSEMBLY
Clean the piston ring grooves thoroughly and install
the piston rings.
• Apply engine oil to the piston rings.
• Avoid piston and piston ring damage during
installation.
• Install the piston rings with the marking (RE: top
ring, RNE: second ring) facing up.
• Do not mix the top and second rings; top ring is
narrower than the second ring in width.
• To install the oil ring, install the spacer first, then
install the side rails.
Stagger the piston ring end gaps 120° apart from
each other.
Stagger the side rail end gaps as shown.
After installation, the rings should rotate freely in
the ring groove.

rod small end inner surfaces and piston pin outer
surfaces.
