    DUCTILE MOLY RINGS AND PVD

    To identify a moly top ring look for silver-grey plated finish with black phosphated top and
    bottom surfaces. If there is a dot on the flat side of the ring, make sure it faces up. Rough hone
    cylinders to within .0762mm, intermediate hone to within 0.0127mm with 220 grit and final
    hone with a 400 grit and a 10 to 12 RA finish with a 20° to 22° crosshatch.

    CHROME RINGS
    To identify a chrome top ring the face will have chrome plating, the top and bottom of the ring
    will be a reddish/brown. Chrome on any of the rings is not advisable with nikasil bores. There
    instructions must be followed for maximum ring seal. A torque plate must be used unless the
    bolt holes are not part of the cylinder. The first stone is a 525 (220 grit) stone, honed until there is
    .0254mm left from final bore. The bore must be round to 0.00508mm, checked 360 degrees from
    the bottom to the top of the bore. Continue with a 525 (220 grit) stone , 50% load until
    RING RACCOMENDATIONS 0.00508mm is left from final bore. Then use the 525 stone at 20% load to final bore size.
    Failure to check ring gap can result in severe engine failure. The best ring gap for any particular
    engine and application varies. Increased clearence is generally needed for forced induction,
    nitrous, filled, blocks, endurance racing and other extreme applications. The final end gap
    suitable for the engine is the full resoinsibility of the engine builder. If you have any technical
    questions please contact us at www.italianrp.com

    RING GAP MEASURING PROCEDURES


    1) Install torque plate on engine (if applicable) and torqued to specifications as machine shop.
    2) Piston ring should be below and square to the deck.
    3) Measure ring end gap with a feeler gauge.

    A torque plate must be utilized for boring and honing.

    Determining ring gap
    To determining the ring end gap look for your apllication in the table on the left.

    Top ring installation
    if the ring has a dot or laser marking then this side will face up. If there is no dot look for an
    inner bevel and install this facing up. If there is neither a bevel or any other marking the
    ring can be installed either way (non directional).

    Second ring installation


    If the ring has a dot or laser marking this side will face up. If there is no dot look for an inner
    bevel and install this facing down. If you do not see either refer to the diagram below
    It is very important not to install the 2nd ring upside down otherwise it will pump oil into
    the combustion chamber.

    Oil ring installation


    Install the expander into the ring groove followed by the rails. The rails should be offset
    about 180°
