ENGCYLINDER AND PISTON
Piston pin
1. Inspect:
lPiston pin
Blue discoloration/grooves ®
Replace, then inspect the lubrication
system.
2. Measure:
lPiston pin-to-piston clearance
Measurement steps:
lMeasure the outside diameter (piston pin)
a.
If out of specification, replace the piston
pin
Outside diameter (piston pin):
17.991 ~ 18.000 mm
(0.7083 ~ 0.7087 in)
lMeasure the inside diameter (piston) b.
Inside diameter (piston):
18.004 ~ 18.015 mm
(0.7088 ~ 0.7093 in)
lCalculate the piston pin-to-piston clear-
ance with the following formula.
Piston pin-to-piston clearance =
Inside diameter (piston) b –
Outside diameter (piston pin) a
lIf out of specification, replace the piston.
Piston pin-to-piston clearance:
0.004 ~ 0.024 mm
(0.00016 ~ 0.00094 in)
: 0.07 mm (0.003 in)
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Piston
1. Install:
lPiston rings
Onto the piston.
NOTE:
lBe sure to install the piston rings so that the
manufacturer’s marks or numbers are

points to the exhaust side of the engine.
lBefore installing the piston pin clip, cover the
crankcase with a clean rag to prevent the
piston pin clip from falling into the crankcase.
4. Lubricate:
lPiston
lPiston rings
lCylinder
NOTE:
Apply a liberal coating of engine oil.
Cylinder
1. Install:
lGasket 1
lCylinder 2
NOTE:
Install the cylinder with one hand while com-
pressing the piston rings with the other hand.
CAUTION:
lPass the timing chain 3 through the tim-
ing chain cavity.
lBe careful not to damage the timing chain
damper 4 during installation.
