- Firstly, before installing the HAVAL Xiaolong 1.5L PHEV 105KM piston ring (OE# 1004900XEB0H), make sure to clean the piston grooves thoroughly to remove any carbon deposits. This ensures a proper fit. Secondly, check the end gap of the piston ring. It should be within the manufacturer's specified range. Incorrect end gap can lead to poor engine performance. Thirdly, use a piston ring expander to install the ring onto the piston carefully. Avoid using sharp tools that could damage the ring. Fourthly, lubricate the piston ring with engine oil. This reduces friction during the initial start - up. Lastly, when inserting the piston with the ring into the cylinder, ensure the ring is properly aligned to prevent it from getting stuck.
