exists. In addition to visual inspection, inspect
important areas by means of red check.2) Measure the warping of the cylinder head sur-
face that mates with crankcase by using a straight
edge and thickness gauge.
If the warping exceeds 0.05 mm (0.0020 in),
regrind the surface with a surface grinder.

NOTE:
Standard sized pistons are classified into two
grades, ªAº and ªBº. These grades should be used
as a guide line in selecting a standard piston.

gauge.

Measurement should be performed at a tem-
perature 20ÉC (68ÉF).

6) Boring and honing
(1) If the value of taper, out-of-roundness, or
cylinder-to-piston clearance measured exceeds
the specified limit or if there is any damage on
the cylinder wall, rebore it to use an oversize
piston.
CAUTION:
When any of the cylinders needs reboring, all
other cylinders must be bored at the same
time, and use oversize pistons. Do not perform
boring on one cylinder only, nor use an over-
size piston for one cylinder only.(2) If the cylinder inner diameter exceeds the
limit after boring and honing, replace the crank-
case.
CAUTION:
Immediately after reboring, the cylinder diam-
eter may differ from its real diameter due to
temperature rise. Thus, pay attention to this
when measuring the cylinder diameter.
Limit of cylinder enlarging (boring):
0.5 mm (0.020 in)
3. PISTON AND PISTON PIN
1) Check pistons and piston pins for damage,
cracks, and wear and the piston ring grooves for
wear and damage. Replace if defective.
2) Measure the piston-to-cylinder clearance at
each cylinder.

If any of the clearances is not to specification,
replace the piston or bore the cylinder to use an
oversize piston.
3) Make sure that piston pin can be inserted into
the piston pin hole with a thumb at 20ÉC (68ÉF).
Replace if defective.

hole in piston:
