1)  Piston

(1) Overview

Piston assembly contains piston, #1 ring, #2 

ring, oil ring, piston pin and snap ring. The 

expansion energy from engine is transferred to 

the crankshaft through connecting rod to convert 

the linear movement to rotating energy.

(3) Functions

Piston transfers the combustion energy from engine to connecting rod. Especially in the direct injection 

engine such as D20DTR, it provides the combustion space and largely effects to the engine performance 

and exhaust gas.

Piston ring

#1 ring (Top ring) : Prevents the high pressurized combustion gas from leaking into crank chamber, 

and prevents the engine oil getting into combustion chamber.   

#2 ring: Scrapes the engine oil on the cylinder bore, and prevents the leaked combustion gas from #1 

ring from leaking into the crank chamber.   

Oil ring: Scrapes the engine oil on the cylinder bore.

Piston pin

Connects the piston the connecting rod, and transfers the linear movement of piston to connecting rod 

to convert it to rotating energy

Snap ring

Locks the piston pin.

(4) Assembling the piston

Install the piston rings with the "Y" mark on the 

ring facing upwards.
Position the end gap of #1 ring at 180˚ 

away from the end gap of #1 ring.
Position the end gap of oil ring at 180˚ 

away from the end gap of coil spring, and 
position the end gap of oil ring at 90˚ away 

from the end gap of #2 ring.
