- Maintenance of Rings -
(1) The wear limit of rider ring is by the
bottom clearance between piston and
Gap
cylinder liner becomes 0.5mm. The
planned life is 8000 hrs, however, for
initial maintenance, we recommend you
to carry out overhaul at 4000hrs to
estimate the actual life.
(2) To determine the life, please plot the
clearance versus operation time like the
0 .5

below graph.
