piston-ring-side.jpg 6. Check side clearance of compression rings with Feeler Gauge D81L-4201-A or equivalent by inserting it between ring and its lower land. Gauge should slide freely around entire ring circumference without binding. 

Ring side clearance: 
Top ring: 0.040-0.090mm (0.0016-0.0035 inch) 
2nd ring: 0.030-0.080mm (0.0012-0.0031 inch) 

Service limit: 
Top ring: 0.15mm max (0.006 inch max) 
2nd ring: 0.15mm max (0.006 inch max) 

If clearance is greater than service limit, replace piston ring. If clearance exceeds service limit, even with a new piston ring, replace piston.
