HAFT SEAL RING OF THE CRANKSHAFT
Insert a new shaft seal ring from outside, the sealing lip facing inwards. The seal ring
must be 2 mm (0.08 in.) below the edge of the housing.

4.3 Piston

When intending to reinstall a used piston, perform the following checks:
– Check the piston bearing surface for signs of wear (seizing of the piston).
Superficial grooves can be removed using a fine-grained abrasive block.
– The piston rings should not stick in their grooves. To clean the grooves, use an
old piston ring or abrasive paper.
– The piston-ring locking devices
be worn.
– The piston pin should not be discolored or significantly grooved.

4.3.1 Checking the piston ring end gap

– Check the piston rings for signs of wear (grooves).
– Check the piston ring end gap
– Align the piston ring with the piston approximately 10 mm (0.4 in.) below the
upper cylinder edge.
– Use a feeler gauge to measure the end gap

4.4 Measuring piston and cylinder, piston fitting clearance

– To determine cylinder wear, measure the cylinder, applying a micrometer to the
middle of the bearing surface.
– Measure the cylinder diameter along both the x-axis and y-axis to determine ova-
lity, if any.
– The piston is measured at the piston skirt at a right angle to the piston pin as
shown in the illustration.
– The piston fitting clearance is the cylinder diameter minus the piston diameter.
