a. Measure cylinder bore with the cylinder bore
gauge.
TIP
Measure cylinder bore by taking side-to-side
and front-to-back measurements of the cylinder.
Then, find the average of the measurements.
Bore
80.000–80.010 mm (3.1496–
3.1500 in)
Taper limit

b. If out of specification, replace the cylinder,
and replace the piston and piston rings as a

c. Measure piston skirt diameter "D" with the mi-
crometer.

e. Calculate the piston-to-cylinder clearance
with the following formula.
Piston-to-cylinder clearance =
Cylinder bore – Piston skirt diameter

CHECKING THE PISTON RINGS

1. Measure:
• Piston ring side clearance
Out of specification → Replace the piston
and piston rings as a set.
TIP
Before measuring the piston ring side clearance,
eliminate any carbon deposits from the piston
ring grooves and piston rings.
