How should the end gaps of piston rings be checked and fitted to ensure proper assembly on 2008 Volvo S40?

Make sure that pistons are properly assembled and ring clearances are checked. Prior to fitting rings, dimensions end gaps in cylinder bores. For accuracy use feeler blades. If gaps are undersized, file ends carefully. Fit rings to pistons ( faced up and gaps are 120 degrees apart) as per manufacturers instructions.
