We recommend thot 0 complete new set be
installed. Compression rings should be assem-
bled over the top of piston cmd oil rings over
bottom of piston. Put on outer rings first and
work the inner rings over them. Stagger the
ring joints. To allow for expansion, end clear-
ance on rings (when compressed in groove)
should be from .005 to .015. .
After installing new rings. run the compressor
with air heads off to see if any oil is possing
by the rinqs. If any oil appears, lop in the
rings by applying a mixture of Bon-Ami and
lubricating oil to the cylinder wall. Run the
compressor until oil stops possing the rings,
wipe out cylinder and cronk case and ossem-
ble the unit. Put fresh oil in the crank case. To
remove an aluminum piston from the connect-
ing rod, it may be necessary to heat the piston
to expand it lightly to free the piston pin.
Suggestion: Submerge in boiling water.
e. Check connecting rod bearings. When re-
assembling: Coat all parts with oil belore re-
assembling. Stagger the rings.
