Check the clearance between the rings (2) and their landings on the piston (1) with a feeler gauge (3).
The ring (2) of the first landing has a "V" shape. The clearance (X) between the ring and landing is measured by setting the piston (1) with the ring in the cylinder liner (3) so that the ring is exposed half way out of the cylinder liner.
