Piston And Rings

Note: The word "Front" or an arrow which is marked on the piston crown must be toward the front of the engine. If the piston crown is not marked, put the narrowest side of the piston crater toward the side of the engine with the fuel injection pump. The shortest distance between the edge of the piston crater and the edge of the piston is the narrowest side of the piston crater.

Note: Be sure that the ring end gaps of all the piston rings have 120 degrees spacing from each other.

Note: Refer to Systems Operation, "General Information" for the location of the serial number.
