  Q: How to Properly Install a Piston Ring Set on Chrysler Voyager?

  A:

  Start by wiping the cylinder bore free of oil, put the Piston ring inside and then press the ring down with the piston to have it sit square in the bore. Put a feeler gauge in between the ring and the top of the cylinder piece to ensure it is at least 12 mm (0.50 inch) from the bottom. After that, examine the distance between the piston ring and the groove face. While installing, ensure the manufacturer's mark on the rings is on top of the piston. Assemble the piston rings from the oil ring expander, through the upper oil ring side rail, the lower oil ring side rail, the No. 2 intermediate piston ring and finish with the No. 1 upper piston ring. Keep one end of the side rail between the piston ring groove and the expander, then hold it firmly and press down, so it enters the piston ring without the need for the expander. Always begin with the installation of the upper side rail, then put on the lower side rail and then set the No. 2 piston ring and No. 1 piston ring. The gap created by the piston ring on the edge of the cylinder should be appropriate and place the oil ring expander gap 45 degrees away from the lateral clearance in the cylinder to support effective oil control.

  Q: How to Service and Repair a Piston Ring Set on Chrysler Voyager?

  A:

  You have to take out the Piston and connecting rod before you can service and repair the piston ring. Following that, open the rings with a ring expander, taking off both No. 1 and No. 2 piston rings from the piston, as well as both oil ring side rails and the oil ring expander. When installing the rings, make certain that their manufacturer's I.D. tag faces up on the top of the piston. The order for piston ring installation is oil ring expander, upper oil ring side rail, lower oil ring side rail, No. 2 intermediate piston ring and No. 1 upper piston ring. Hold one end of the side rail between the piston ring groove and the expander, tighten it with your hands and press it down into place - without using the piston ring expander. First, install the upper side rail, then the lower side rail and finally put in No. 2 piston ring and No. 1 piston ring. Set the ring end gaps properly and keep the oil ring's expander gap at least 45° from the side rail gaps, away from the piston pin center and out of the thrust direction, as properly staggering the ring helps control oil.
