When not fitted correctly, piston rings can cause serious damage to a vehicle's engine. That's why it's crucial to keep the following steps in mind: - Make sure you have the correct piston ring set for your piston - Orient the rings correctly with the labeled side facing upward - Use piston ring pliers to avoid damaging the rings - Lubricate the rings and pistons before installation - Fit the rings sequentially and position them with their gaps offset from each other - For oil control rings, pay extra attention to the spring lock washers - For steel rail rings, ensure the color markings on the expander spring are visible and fit the rails with the gaps toward the pin bore. ►Check out our latest Technical Messenger: bit.ly/TM_4 ►Subscribe to the MAHLE Channel: https://bit.ly/33wDtWl ▬ Favorite Videos ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ►All official MAHLE Videos https://bit.ly/2Xj3D9T ▬ About this channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ MAHLE is a leading international development partner and supplier to the automotive industry as well as a pioneer for the mobility of the future.
