Piston ring installation
Your Wossner piston is supplied with high performance piston rings that are specifically engineered for your
engine application. It is important to inspect the piston ring end gap during installation, and make adjustment to
the end gap if required
Inspect the piston ring end gap in your cylinder, approximately 13mm (.500”) down from the top of the cylinder.
Install one piston ring at a time, use the piston to assure the ring is flat and square to the cylinder bore. Ring gap
can be measured using a feeler gage
The chart below illustrates some typical ring end gap dimensions, based on general guidelines. To calculate the
ring end gap, multiply the cylinder bore diameter in inches X the end gap mentioned on the chart:
Update 2-2-23
WOSSNER PISTON END GAP FOR MX AND STOCK 86MM BORE
86mm = 3.38582"
TOP RING 3.38582" x .004" = 0.0135"
BOTTOM RING 3.38582" x .005" = 0.0169"
NOTE: Piston ring oil rails should be a minimum gap of .35 – 1.0mm (.014 - .040”)
NOTE: Three piece oil ring separators should be installed with the ends butted only, and not overlapped
NOTE: Two piece oil rings require that the coil expander gap is located opposite of the rail end gap
NOTE: Top and second ring axial clearance should be between .03 - .04mm (.0011 - .0015”)
Wossner high performance pistons and rings require a break in period. It is best to follow OEM guidelines for
break in. Synthetic oils are not recommended for break in, as these oil types may prevent the piston rings from
properly wearing into the cylinder wall
