right angles to the piston pin center line, 23.2 mm
(0.913 in.) from the piston head.
Piston diameter:
87.406 ± 87.416 mm (3.4412 ± 3.4416 in.)
(2) Measure the cylinder bore diameter in the thrust
directions. (See page EM±93)
(3) Subtract the piston diameter measurement from the
cylinder bore diameter measurement.
Standard oil clearance:
0.084 ± 0.106 mm (0.0033 ± 0.0042 in.)
