- Using the expander tool, install the new rings onto the piston in the correct order and orientation specified by your engine's service manual.
- Lubricate the new rings, piston, and cylinder wall with fresh engine oil.
- Use a piston ring compressor tool to guide the piston and ring assembly back into the cylinder bore without damaging the rings.

- Refill engine fluids, reconnect the battery, and perform an initial startup to check for leaks and proper operation.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this piston ring kit will fit my engine?
This kit is specifically for Volvo Penta MD2040 series engines (A, B, C, and D models). Please check the Engine & Model Compatibility table and verify your OEM part number is 3580546 before ordering.
What are the common signs of failing piston rings?
Symptoms of worn piston rings include excessive blue or white smoke from the exhaust, high oil consumption, loss of engine power, and poor results from a cylinder compression test.
Is this a complete set for an entire engine?
