Piston Rings
Replacement
Using a ring expander, remove old piston rlngs.
Clean all ring grooves thoroughly.
o Use a squared-ofl broken ring or ring groove
cleaner with blade to fit piston grooves.
. lop ring groove is 1.0 mm (0.039 in) wide, sec
ond groove is 1.2 mm (0.047 in) wide, and oil
ring groove is 2.8 mm (0.110 in) wide.
. File down blade if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not use a wire brush to clean the
ring lands, or cut ring lands deeper with cleaning
tool.
NOTE: lf the piston is to be separated from the con
necting rod, do not install new rings yet.
Install new rings in the proper sequence and posa-
tion (see page 7 21).
Do not use old piston rings.
PISTON RING
End Gap
Using a piston, push a new ring into the cvlinder
bore 15 - 20 mm 10.6 0.8 in) f rom the bottom.
2. N,4easure the piston ring end gap with a feeler
gauge:
lf the gap is too small, check to see if you have
the proper rings for your engine.
. lf the gap is too large, recheck the cylinder bore
diameter against the wear limits on page 7-13.
lf the bore is over the service limit, the cylinder
block must be rebored.

CAUTION: Whenever any crankshaft o. connecting rod
bearing is replaced, it is necessary after reassembly to
run the engine at idling speed until it reaches normal
opelating temperature, then continue to run it tor
approximalely 15 minutes.
Apply non-hardening liquid gasket to the block mat-
ing surface of the right side cover, and install it on
the cylinder block.
NOTEI
. Use liquid gasket, Part No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718- 0003,
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry
before applying liquid gasket.
. Apply liquid gasket as an even bead, centered
between the edges of the mating surface.
. To prevent leakage of oil, apply liquid gasket to
the inner threads of the bolt holes.
. Do not install the parts if 5 minutes or more have
elapsed since applying the liquid gasket. Instead,
reapply liquid gasket after removing the old
residue.
After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes betore
filling the engine with oil.
RIGHT SIDE COVER:
Apply liquid gasket alongthe broken line.
