ring groove cleaner (if needed) and piston ring pliers (can just use your hand or needle nose)
There is no clearance of the ring to the block. The ring works in contact with the block to seal the combustion chamber and provide oil control.
You have to disassemble the entire engine, remove the piston and check the rubber ring around that piston.
The DNJ ring spec. information, printed on each compression ring (located next to the piston ring gap), is installed facing the top of the piston for both the top (#1) and middle (#2) compression piston ring slots. The oil control ring can be installed just like any other oil control ring in the bottom (#3) piston ring slot.
a piston ring is not calibrated. You just slide the new one in place

one ring per piston, the pistons have a groove in it where the ring fits on.
You mean a piston ring. It seals the gap between the piston and the chamber in your engine
The purpose of a piston ring expander is to make it easier remove and install piston rings. Because of the low torque they use, they help to prevent damage to the piston rings.
The lowest ring is the oil ring
With a piston ring compressor.
There are compression ring and oil control ring
