Item Qty Part Specification Description
Prior to the installation of the piston rings, lubricate the ring grooves with clean engine oil. After assembly of the piston rings, lubricate the mating surfaces of the rings to the cylinder liner with clean engine oil.
1 1 488-9888 Piston Ring Install the top piston ring with the "UP-1" side toward the top of the piston.
Thickness of new top piston ring is 3.465 to 3.490 mm (0.1364 to 0.1374 inch).
Clearance between the ends of the piston ring when the piston ring is installed in a cylinder liner bore of 170 mm (6.7 inch) is 0.60 0.10 mm (0.024 0.004 inch).
Increase in clearance between the ends of the piston ring for each 0.03 mm (0.001 inch), increase in the cylinder liner bore is 0.08 mm (0.003 inch).
2 1 448-3651 Piston Ring Install the intermediate piston ring with the "UP-2" side toward the top of the piston.
Thickness of new intermediate piston ring is 2.97 to 2.99 mm (0.117 to 0.118 inch).
Clearance between the ends of the piston ring when the piston ring is installed in a cylinder liner bore of 170 mm (6.7 inch) is 1.00 0.15 mm (0.039 0.006 inch).
Increase in clearance between the ends of the piston ring for each 0.03 mm (0.001 inch), increase in the cylinder liner bore is 0.08 mm (0.003 inch).
3 1 165-6668 Oil Control Piston Ring Ends of the oil control piston ring should be a distance of 180 degrees from the ring end gap when the piston ring is assembled. The colored portion of the piston ring must be visible at the ring end gap.
Width of groove in new piston for the oil control piston ring is 4.055 0.015 mm (0.1596 0.0006 inch).
Thickness of new oil control piston ring is 3.980 0.010 mm (0.1567 0.0004 inch).
Clearance between the ends of the piston ring when the piston ring is installed in a cylinder liner bore of 170 mm (6.7 inch) is 0.65 0.15 mm (0.026 0.006 inch).
Increase in the clearance between the ends of the piston ring for each 0.03 mm (0.001 inch) increase in the cylinder liner bore is 0.08 mm (0.003 inch).
After all piston rings have been installed, rotate the piston rings so that the end gaps are separated by 120 degrees.
4 2 253-1238 Pin Retainer Install the pin retainer with the gap toward the top of the piston.
Thickness is 2.36 0.08 mm (0.093 0.003 inch).
