What is the position of piston ring?

Generally in grooves near the top of the piston. The compression rings, near the top and the oil rings at the bottom of the top. The ring gaps are staggered.


What is the top ring nearer to the piston crown?

compression rings.. while the bottom ring is known as oil ring .


When a piston has three ring the bottom ring will be?

Most commonly the bottom ring will be the Oil Controlring.(Control added by amclaussen.)Oil control ring is correct. It is used to keep the cylinder lubricated as the piston goes up and down. The first two top rings are for compression. However, the 2nd from the top ring is also a wipper ring. Used to keep oil from getting into the combustion chamber.(~Decker)


What is a piston ring expander?

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.


How do you install piston rings?

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.

What is a piston ring compressor?

It is a spring metal sleeve that goes over a piston to compress the rings so that the piston can be install in the motor. It tightens down on the piston, forcing the rings into the grooves in the piston then you tap it into the cylinder.


Piston ring compressor how to work?

Place rings into their respective positions on the piston. Place ring compressor over rings and tighten up until you can only just move the piston inside the compressor. Place the top of the piston into the bottom of the cylinder, push the piston and rings up out out of the compressor and into the cylinder keeping the compressor hard against the base of the cylinder. If you do not hold the compressor hard against cylinder the rings will slip out and you start again, you are not allowed to throw the compressor at your garage door until the third time. You should try it without a compressor, or have you?.
