NOTE; All replacement piston pins are overslze.
2. Zero the dial indicator to the piston pin diameter'
Measure the diameter of the piston pin.

Standard {New): 20.994 - 21.000 mm
(0.8265 - 0.8268 in)

(0.7478 - 0.7480 inl
18.997 - 19.003
{0.7479 - 0.7481 in)
3. Measure the piston pin-to-piston clearance.
NOTE: Check the piston for distortion or cracks.
lf the piston pin clearance is greater than 0.024 mm
(0.0009 jn), remeasure using an oversized piston
pin.
Piston Pin-to-Piston Clearance:
Standard (New): 0.010 - 0.022 mm
(0.0004 - 0.0009 in)
Check the difference between the piston pin diame-
ter and the connecting rod small end diameter'

Piston Rings
End Gap
1.Using a piston, push a new ring into the cylinderbore 15 - 20 mm (0.6 - 0.8 in) from the bottom.
Measure the piston ring end-gap with a feeler gauge:
. lf the gap is too small, check to see if you have
the proper rings for your engine.. lf the gap is too large. recheck the cylinder borediameter against the wear limits on page 7-16,
lf the bore is over the service limit, the cvlinderblock must be rebored.

Replacement
1.Using a ring expander. remove the old piston rings.
Clean all ring grooves thoroughly.
NOTE:
. Use a squared-off broken ring or ring groove
cleaner with blade to fit piston grooves.
o Top ring groove is 1.0 mm (0.039 in)wide.. Second ring groove is 1.2 mm (0.047 in) wide.. Oil ring groove is 2,8 mm (0.11 in) wide.. File down the blade if necessary.
CAUTION: Do noi use a wire blush to clean ringlands. or cut ring lands deepol with cleaning tool.
NOTE: lfthe piston is to be separated from the con-necting rod, do not install new rings yet.
3. Install new rings in the proper sequence and posi-
taon (see page 7-22).
NOTE: Do not reuse old piston rings.

Engine Oil
Inspection
1.Park the vehicle on level ground, and turn off theengine. Allow the oil a few minutes to drain backinto the oil pan so the dipstick will show the actuallevel.
Make certain that the oil level indicated on the dip_stick is between the upper and lower marks.
lf the level has dropped close to the lower mark.add oil until it reaches the upper mark.
CAUTION: lmert thc dipstick car€fully to avoid b€nd_ing it.

After the engine has been run, the exhaust pipe willbe hot; be careful when working around ihe exhaustpipe.
Be careful when loosening the drain bolt whils theengine is hot. Burns can resuh because the oil tem-peratu16 is very high.
Remove the oil filter with the oil filter wrencn.
Inspect the threads and rubber seal on the new filter.Wipe off the seat on the engine block, then apply alight coat of oil to the new filter,s rubber seal.
NOTE: Use onty fitters with a built-in bypass sys,tem.
Apply oil to rubber sealbefore installing.
