Cylinder bore, checking


Piston and cylinder bore dimensions
Engine codes AHA, ATQ
Note:
Replacement pistons are only available in the basic dimension.
CAUTION!
DO NOT measure cylinder bore dimensions while the cylinder block
is mounted on the engine stand. The cylinder block is stressed and
deformed by its own weight under these conditions and the
measurements will not be accurate. - Measure at three locations diagonally in crosswise direction -A- and
lengthwise direction -B-.
Inner bore gauge: 50-100 mm (1.96-3.94 in.)
Deviation from nominal size: max. 0.08mm (0.0031 in.)Reconditioning
