Measuring Critical
Components
CYLINDER TRUENESS
1.
Measure each
cyl inder
in
t he
th
ree
locat
ions
shown
from
fro
nt
to bac
k
and
side
to side
for
a
total
of six
readings. The trueness
(out-of-
roundness)
is
the
difference between
the
highest and
lowest reading.
Maximum
true-
ness
(out-a
f-
roundness) must not
exceed
speci
f
ications
li
sted.

PISTON SKIRT/CYLINDER CLEARANCE
1.
Measure
each cyl inder
front to back
about 2.5
cm (1
in.)
from the bottom
of each
cylinder.
2.
Measure the
correspond
ing
piston diameter
at a
point
1

(0.394

above
the piston

Subtract
this
measurement
from the
meas-
urement
in
step
1. The
difference (c learance)
must
be
within specif ications.

PISTON·RING
END
GAP
Place
each'
piston
ring
in the wear portion
above
the
exhaust port of its
res
pective
cy
li
nder.
Use
the piston
to
positio
n
each
ring
squarely in each cylinder.
Using a fee ler
gauge,
measure each piston-
ring
end
gap. Acceptab le
ring end
gap must
fall
within specifications.
