carried over 1t with one hand: or a
block of wood may be used. Lap only
little at q time and, after each lap
ping, clean the ring carefully in gas
oline, dry 1t and try it in the groove
again-backward, as before. If it may
be rolled around with much difficulty
1t may be slipped over the piston into
its grove for another test.
To Slip the ring in place use three
pieces of an old saw blade or similar
metal pieces to act as skids. Hold one
skid against the side of the piston and
slip the ring over that skid, then while
it is caught in that position slip an
other skid between piston and ring.
Move the second skid about one-third
around the piston. Then third skid
may be slipped in place and the ring
slipped down over the three.
After the ring is seated in it's groove
grasp it firmly with one hand and
move it around three or four complete
turns. If 1t sticks in it's groove the fit
is too tight. IF there is up and down
play the fit is too loose. The ring must
so fit that it can be moved around, not
too freely, in it's groove and, at the
same time, not show any up and down
play.
Some workers place red lead over the
ring sides SO that after a fit of this
kind the ring may be removed and the
shiny high spots noted and filed down
and another fit tried. This is all
right and may even be done in the first
instance when the ring is fitted in thu
cylinder. 1t this way tapping the ring
in the cylinder is avoided, though with
most rings it is almost impossible to
get perfect fit without tapping.
After the bottom ring has been fitted
1t would be a good plan to again check
the end clearance by squeezing the ring
as tightly as possible in it's groove and
mea surfing the clearance with a gauge
Then fit the next higher ring in the
same way, and so on up to the top
When you have fitted a piston move
the rings around so that the ends are
not in alignment, squirt some oil all
over the rings and piston sides, and the
work Is done.
There are two or three points that
the owner might consider as regards
fitting and in relation to the rings
themselves.
Never stretch a ring too much. be-
cause most rings when stretched ex-
cessively are SO out of round they
won't fit.
Don't try to buy the cheapest rings.
OF course, it is q difficult thing for
the owner to be able to determine a
good design; but, as matter OF fact,
some Of the patent rings on the mar
ket are no better than the ordinary
diagnolly split or stepjoint rings. In
fact, the latter are to be preferred to
some of the patent ones at any price.
On the other hand, there are certain
patent piston rings which are ideal.
AS last bit of advice, do not start
any of the work until you have found
out all about your particular engine.
1t might have aluminium pistons of a
certain type and require totally diff
