    Q:
    How do you properly install new piston rings and check their end gaps on Pontiac Grand Prix? Posted by Customer
    A:
    In case of replacing the piston rings, make sure that the limits of the ring end gaps are ok and that a piston ring side clearance test has been done. During the process of the end gap measurement and during the engine assembling lay the piston/connecting rod assemblies and new ring sets side by side, each set to be matched with corresponding piston and cylinder. Place the top ring into the first cylinder aligning it with the cylinder walls using the piston, place it slightly below the bottom of the cylinder. Feel the gap between the ends of the ring with feeler gauges until feelers do fit into the gap; the ring should be as square to the cylinder bore as possible. If the gap is wrong identify the right rings before continuing. The end gap cannot be too small and it is advisable to fine file the ring ends from the outside in to increase the end gap while an end gap in excess of 0.040-inch is not desirable. Do this for all the rings in the first cylinder and the other of the same rings, pistons, and cylinders. Once the end gaps are checked and the correction made the rings should be fitted onto the pistons in order of the oil control ring which is made up of three pieces. Place the spacer/expander into the groove with the tang if provided into the tang pocket; the lower and upper side rails can be installed without the use of a piston ring installation tool, but be careful not to damage the ring groove. Once the oil ring components have been installed, do make sure that both side rails rotate evenly in the groove. Then, put in the middle ring to the cylinder with the identification mark facing up and employ a piston ring installation tool which does not expand the ring. Additionally it is placed in a similar manner with the upward mark fixed and followed the same process as done to other pistons and rings.
