Inspecting the cylinder
- Using a bore meter, measure the inner cylinder
diameter at three different points according to the
directions shown in the figure.
- Check that the head coupling surface is not worn
or misshapen.
- Pistons and cylinders are classified according to
diameter. The coupling is carried out in pairs (A-A,
B-B, C-C, D-D).
- The cylinder rectifying operation should be car-
ried out with a surfacing that respects the original
- The cylinder surface roughness should be 0.9
- This is indispensable for a good seating of the
sealing rings, which in turn minimises oil consump-
tion and guarantees optimum performance.
- The pistons are oversized due to cylinder grind-
ing and are subdivided into three categories- 1st,
2nd, 3rd corresponding to 0.2-0.4-0.6 mm oversi-
