2. Worn rings must be replaced if the radial

width D-2 is less than 20 mm.
New piston ring D-1 = 23.3 mm.
Worn piston ring D-2 = 20 mm.

3. Effect the ring gap checking in either a

new cylinder liner or at bottom of a
used liner.
Working ring gap D-3 = 3.4 mm.

Clearance in piston ring grooves:

5
5. The maximum vertical height in a worn
ring groove must not exceed D-5:

Groove Nos. 1 = 16.9 mm

Groove Nos. 2,3 and 4 = 12.9 mm

The groove is also worn out if there is

no chromium layer.

If the maximum vertical height is ex-

ceeded, the piston crown must be sent
to an MAN B&W authorized repair shop
for reconditioning.

Note !

When handling and mounting a new

Controlled Pressure Relief (CPR) ring
(ring No. 1), be careful not to damage
the edge of the ring.

7. Vertical clearance, new piston ring and

new or reconditioned ring groove :

D-6 = 0.4-0.45 mm.
