4-STROKE PISTON RING ASSEMBLY TIPS Please note, the following tips for assembly and installing the rings on your 4-Stroke piston. Proper ring installation is mandatory to proper engine function. Failure to correctly install the rings will cause numerous problems. Ring Gap: All ring sets MUST have the gap Figure 1 checked. The ring gap is checked by sliding each ring into bottom of the cylinder and measuring the end gap with a feeler gauge. The proper ring gap is .004” per one inch of bore size. For example: a cylinder with a 3.0” bore would have a ring gap of .012”. Generally the ring gap will be too tight. To open the gap to the proper specification it is recommended to use a proper ring filer to adjust the gap to its correct size. After any rings have been filed you must check for burrs on the ends. Rings must be assembled burr free. Ring Order Installation: Installing the rings it is best to install them in the following order. First install the 3- piece oil ring, 2nd install the middle ring, 3rd install the top ring. Failure to install rings from bottom of piston up will cause problems. Follow more elaborate instructions listed below. Trade Mark Up: All Top and 2nd Rings have some identification mark on one end. This marks serves to identify upside of the ring.

Generally the 3-Piece oil ring has no trademarks and there is no specific upside. If there is absolutely no I.D. mark of any kind, look for a bevel or taper, this would go up. If there is both an I.D. mark and a bevel. The I.D. mark side should go up. Top Ring: The top ring also referred to, as the compression ring must always be installed. This ring is usually lighter silver in color. Engine should NEVER be run without top ring. Power loss will occur alon
