How should you check and install piston rings before engine assembly on 1997 Mazda MPV?

Check piston ring gaps and clearance. Match piston assemblies with ring sets. Square the top ring with the piston, measure gap with gauges until slight drag. If incorrect verify rings; file ends outside-in if too small. Repeat for all cylinders, then install oil ring, middle and top rings with marks up.
