ENGCYLINDER AND PISTON
Piston ring
1. Measure:Ring side clearance
Use a thickness gauge.
Out of specification → Replace the piston
and rings as a set.
NOTE:
Clean carbon from the piston ring grooves and
rings before measuring the side clearance.
2. Position: Piston ring
(in cylinder)
NOTE:
Insert a ring into the cylinder and push it
approximately 10 ~ 15 mm (0.39 ~ 0.59 in) into
the cylinder. Push the ring with the piston
crown so that the ring will be at a right angle to
the cylinder bore.
a 10 ~ 15 mm (0.39 ~ 0.59 in)
3. Measure:
Ring end gap
Out of specification → Replace.
NOTE:
You cannot measure the end gap on the
expander spacer of the oil control ring. If the oil
control ring rails show excessive gap, replace
all three rings.
Thickness gauge:
YM-34483/90890-03079

ENGCYLINDER AND PISTON
Piston pin
1. Inspect:Piston pin
Blue discoloration/grooves →
Replace, then inspect the lubrication sys-
tem.
2. Measure: Piston pin outside diameter
Piston pin bore inside diameter
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Piston
1. Install: Piston rings
(onto the piston)
NOTE:
Be sure to install the piston rings so that the
manufacturer ’s marks or numbers are
located on the upper side of the rings.
Lubricate the piston and piston rings liberally
with engine oil.
Measurement steps:
Measure the piston pin outside diameter
a .
If out of specification, replace the piston
pin.
Outside diameter (piston pin): 11.996 ~ 12.000 mm
(0.4723 ~ 0.4724 in)
:11.976 mm (0.4715 in)
Measure the piston inside diameter b.
If out of specification, replace the piston.
Inside diameter (piston): 12.002 ~ 12.013 mm
(0.4725 ~ 0.4730 in)
: 12.043 mm (0.4741 in)

3. Install:
Piston 1
Piston pin 2
Piston pin clips 3
NOTE:
Apply engine oil onto the piston pin, piston
ring and piston.
Be sure that the arrow mark
a on the piston
points to the exhaust side of the engine.
Before 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: Piston
Piston rings
Cylinder
NOTE:
Apply a liberal coating of engine oil.
Cylinder
1. Install:
Dowel pins
Gasket
Cylinder 1
NOTE:
Install the cylinder with one hand while com-
pressing the piston rings with the other hand.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the timing chain
damper during installation.
Pass the timing chain through the timing
chain cavity.
