Tools Needed 
Part Number  Part Name  Quantity 
4C-8169  Gauge (Piston Ring Groove) 
1U-6431  Piston Ring Groove Gauge Gp 
5P-3519  Piston Ring Groove Gauge Gp 

For 3408E or 3412E engines that have aluminum pistons with a top ring groove that is a keystone type, use the 4C-8169 Gauge (Piston Ring Groove) to check the top ring groove.

The intermediate piston ring groove is also a keystone design ring groove. The 1U-6431 Piston Ring Groove Gauge is available to check the intermediate ring groove in the piston.

Use the 5P-3519 Piston Ring Groove Gauge Gp to check the oil control ring groove in the piston.
