Fitting piston rings
D
When reusing piston rings, only rings in perfect condition may be fitted, how-
ever in the same position and groove as removed.
D
Always fit piston ring with the marking TOP upwards
(when the piston is assembled the piston rings must be turned such that the
ring gaps are staggered by 180
_
).
D
The chromium plating thickness of a new
CC coated piston ring should be
measured and recorded to monitor the wear rate over time.
Remark:
New piston rings have to be run-in according to the relevant indications in
the Operating Manual 0410

Storage and handling of piston rings
Store the piston rings in a dry place but not in a place contaminated with exhaust
gases or any other corrosive atmosphere. Lay the piston rings horizontally on a flat
surface, keeping them in their original packing. Handle with care when preparing
for use and avoid any hard contact against other objects.
