How to Service and Repair a Piston Ring Set on Dodge Ram 2500?

The very first step in working with piston rings is to identify the piston size and then buy the suitable ring kit. Set the ring into the cylinder and use a piston to align its part with the cylinder's bore, at a depth of 89.0 mm (3.5 inch). Apply a feeler gauge to see how much space the piston ring has between its grooves. Be sure that the top of each ring shows the word TOP or a supplier's MARK and lay all rings out so that the TOP or MARK side is up when you join them. After that, set the oil ring expander in the oil control ring groove at the bottom and install the oil control ring so the end gaps are opposite each other on the expander. After that, fit the intermediate piston ring into the second groove and place the top piston ring in the top groove so they are properly aligned.

How to Properly Install a Piston Ring Set on Dodge Ram 2500?

To begin, push the piston rings down with an inverted piston and check the end gap at the bottom of the ring; then measure the gap 2 inches above it. Measure with a feeler gauge that the top compression ring sits at 0.254 - 0.508 mm (0.010 - 0.020 inch), the second compression ring at 0.508 - 0.762 mm (0.020 - 0.030 inch) and the oil ring between 0.254 - 1.270 mm (0.010 - 0.050 inch). Rings with small end gaps may be filed for size, but those with big gaps should be discarded. As you put in the control rings, always avoid nicking the piston and stick to the manufacturer's included directions which suggest first adding the oil rail spacer, then each of the side rails without the help of a tool. Take the first compression ring you removed and turn it upside down so the chamfer is lowered. Install the top compression ring with a ring installer, so that both the chamfer and the mark are in an upward position. The side clearance between each ring and its rail should be measured, as it should be between 0.074 and 0.097 mm (0.0029 to 0.0038 inch) for compression rings and not exceed 0.246 mm (0.0097 inch) for the steel oil ring. The top compression ring should be placed 90 according to the left side.
