Checking the clearance between the piston grooves and piston rings:
1 - feeler gauges;
A - incorrect position of the probe;
B - correct position of the feeler gauge
- The gap for the upper compression ring should be within 0.04 - 0.08 mm.
- The clearance for the lower compression ring should be within 0.025 - 0.07 mm.
- The clearance for the oil scraper ring should be within 0.08 - 0.22 mm.
If the clearance values exceed the specified values, replace the piston with the piston pin or piston rings.
