Piston Ring Installed Gap; Piston-To-Cylinder Clearance - Polaris RZR XP 1000 Service Manual

Piston Ring Installed Gap

1. Place each piston ring
the piston to push the ring squarely into cylinder, as
shown below.
2. Measure installed gap with a feeler gauge
the top and bottom of the cylinder.
NOTE: A difference between top and bottom end
gap measurements is a general indication of
cylinder taper (wear). The cylinder should be
measured for taper and out of round.
3. If the installed gap measurement exceeds the
service limit, replace the rings.
