IMPORTANT: DO NOT hone the cylinders or attempt
to repair a damaged cylinder by honing.
3. Inspect cylinder for taper and out of round with a dial
bore gauge. Measure in two different directions (front
to back and side to side), on three levels (0.59 in.
down from top, the middle, and 1.54 in. up from
bottom). Record measurements. If cylinder is tapered
or out of round beyond 0.001", the cylinder must be
replaced.

Piston Disassembly / Inspection

NOTE: New pistons are directional (intake vs.
exhaust), but can be placed in either cylinder.
1. Note location of the piston circlip gap (A) at the top
(12:00 position) or bottom (6:00 position).
2. Remove piston circlip and push piston pin out of
piston. If necessary, heat the crown of the piston
slightly with a heat gun if pin cannot be removed by
hand. Discard circlips.
CAUTION
DO NOT apply heat to piston rings or a loss of
radial tension could result.
