If anymeasurement is not correct, replacepiston rings as a set.Place upper compression ring (12)and lower compression ring (1 1 ) inpiston (8) ring grooves and roll entirelyaround groove. If there is binding,remove ring and inspect grooves fornicks or burrs, Smooth out nicks orremove burrs with fine cut file.Install piston rings (9, 10, 11, and 12)in piston (8) ring grooves.
