Pistons  
    
Installation position: arrow on piston crown must point in driving direction.  
CAUTION! 
DO NOT scratch or scribe on piston crown. The surface has a 
coating that must not be damaged. 
Checking piston diameter  -  Mark cylinder number on piston crown using waterproof felt pen.
    
-  Measure pistons approx. 10 mm (3/8 in.) from bottom edge at right 
angle (90 ) to piston pin.    Deviation from nominal size: 0.04 mm (0.0016 in.).

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.)
