take appropriate corrective action as noted
below:
1.
Worn piston rings
Remove cylinders (para 5-1 2) and replace
worn piston rings (para 6-23 through 6-
27). Install pistons and cylinders (para 7-

restrictions. Refer to pertinent vehicle
Technical Manual, Appendix
A.
c. Replace fuel pump assembly (para 4-4).
