Oil the cylinder bores slightly and push the rings in with a piston top
one by one. Check the fit and measure the gap between the ring ends.
The factory specifies a 0.30-0.50 mm gap for the first compression ring
and a 0.16-0.65 mm for the second. If the rings were ordered correctly for
your application (e.g. standard size), you should not have to adjust them.
