Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Clean the piston and cylinder walls thoroughly to remove any debris or old ring material.
2. Ring Selection: Verify that you have the correct set for your engine’s bore size (79 mm).
3. Compression Rings: Slide each compression ring onto the piston, ensuring they are seated evenly and free of damage.
4. Oil Control Rings: Position the oil control rings above the compression rings. These rings help manage oil consumption and maintain proper lubrication.
