🔍 Key Concepts

• Locate the compression rings on the piston in the illustration and note their vertical position relative to the crankcase and cylinder head. • Think about what type of engine access openings are normally provided: crankcase doors (low), valve covers (top), and any side/liner covers (mid‑height). • Consider how you would get a direct line of sight to the ring belt while the piston is still in the liner, with the piston moved to the proper inspection position.

💭 Think About

• If the piston is lowered to the proper position, from which opening would your eye be roughly level with the ring belt, instead of just the piston crown or skirt? • Which of the listed access points on a typical medium‑speed diesel would actually be blocked by other parts (valves, connecting rod, piston skirt) so you could NOT see the rings clearly? • What feature on the drawing is located right beside the ring area that could be removed to look straight at the rings?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which opening on the illustration is closest in height to the ring belt on the piston. • Eliminate any option that would only let you see the top of the piston or the crankcase/connecting rod, not the rings themselves. • Confirm that the chosen opening, once removed and with the piston positioned correctly, provides a reasonably unobstructed view of the ring grooves.
