SPECIAL TOOLS
| Feeler Gauge Set 303-D027 (D81L-4201-A) or equivalent |
NOTE:
Use care when fitting piston rings to avoid possible damage to the piston ring or the cylinder bore.
NOTE:
Piston rings should not be transferred from one piston to another.
NOTE:
Refer to ENGINE MECHANICAL - 3.5L
or ENGINE MECHANICAL - 3.5L-GTDI
for the specification.
NOTE:
The cylinder bore must be within specification for taper and out-of-round.
- Use a piston without rings to push a piston ring in a cylinder to the bottom of ring travel.
- Use the Feeler Gauge Set to measure the top piston ring end gap and the second piston ring end gap.
