REMOVING THE PISTON AND
PISTON RING
1. Remove:
• Piston pin clip "1"
Before removing the piston pin clip,
cover the crankcase with a clean rag
to prevent the piston pin clip from fall-
ing into the crankcase cavity.
2. Remove:
• Piston pin "1"
• Piston "2"
• Small end bearing "3"
Before removing each piston pin, de-
burr the clip groove and pin hole area.
If the piston pin groove is deburred
and the piston pin is still difficult to re-
move, use the piston pin puller set
"4".
Piston pin puller set:
YU-1304/90890-01304
Do not use a hammer to drive the
piston pin out.
CYLINDER HEAD, CYLINDER AND PISTON
3. Remove:
• Piston ring "1"
Take care not to scratch the piston or
damage the piston ring by expanding
it more than necessary.
CHECKING THE CYLINDER HEAD

2. Inspect:
• Cylinder head water jacket
Crust of minerals/Rust
place.

Warpage measurement and resur-
facing steps:
a. Attach a straightedge "1" and a
thickness gauge "2" on the cylin-
