CHECK PISTON PIN FIT
At (14OOF) you should be.able to push the pin into
the piston with your thumb.
If the pin can be installed at a lower temperature, replace
the piston.
8. INSPECT CONNECTING RODS
(a)
Using a rod aligner and thickness gauge, check the
connecting rod alignment.
0 Check for bend.
Maximum bend:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.) per 100 mm (3.94 in.)
If bend is greater than maximum, replace the connecting
