Measure the inner diameter of piston pin hole with an inside
micrometer.
Piston Pin Outer Diameter
Measure the outer diameter of piston pin with a micrometer.
Piston to Piston Pin Oil Clearance
(Piston to piston pin oil clearance) = (Piston pi
n hole diameter) – (Piston pin outer diameter)
• If oil clearance is out of the standard, replace piston and piston pin assembly.
PISTON RING SIDE CLEARANCE
• Measure the side clearance of piston ring and piston ring groove with a feeler gauge.
• If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace piston ring, and measure again. If it still exceeds the limit, replace piston also.
PISTON RING END GAP
• Make sure that cylinder bore inner diameter is within the specifica-
tion. Check "Cylinder Bore Inner Diameter".
• Lubricate with new engine oil to piston and piston ring, and then insert piston ring until middle of cylinder with piston, and measure
