Fig. 16-30: Puller Shoulder
The piston pin lock rings should be placed with the
gap on the side as per Figure 16-28 and be tight
enough so that they cannot be rotated by finger
pressure.
The rings taken in order from the head of the
piston consist of two compression rings (plain), an oil
ring (vented) and a second oil ring on the piston
shirt. Insert each ring separately in the cylinder about
3/8" from the top and check the ring gap. It should be
between .007 and .017''.
Install the compression rings on the piston with the
side marked "T" or "Top" toward the head of the
piston. See Figure 16-29. Install the oil rings with
either side up. (They have no taper). Stagger the rings
gaps around the piston.

Check the rings for free action and measure the
side clearance between the ring and the piston with a
feeler gauge. It should be about .001.

bly at the same time, making sure the piston does not
