Cylinder Inspection; Piston Ring Removal And Installation - Suzuki GSX-R600 Manual

Cylinder Inspection

Refer to "Engine Top Side Disassembly (Page 1D-25)".
Refer to "Engine Top Side Assembly (Page 1D-27)".
Cylinder Distortion
Check the gasket surface of the cylinder for distortion.
Use a straightedge and thickness gauge. Take clearance
readings at several places. If any reading exceeds the
service limit, replace the crankcase set.
Special tool
: 09900–20803 (Thickness gauge)
Cylinder distortion
Service limit: 0.02 mm (0.008 in)
Cylinder Bore
Measure the cylinder bore diameter at six places. If any
one of the measurements exceed the limit, overhaul the
cylinder and replace the piston with an oversize piston.
The remaining cylinders must also be rebored
accordingly; otherwise, the imbalance might cause
excessive vibration.
Special tool
(A): 09900–20530 (Cylinder gauge set)
Cylinder bore
Standard: 67.000 – 67.015 mm (2.6378 – 2.6384 in)

Piston Ring Removal and Installation

Removal
1) Draw out the piston pin and remove the piston. Refer
to "Engine Bottom Side Disassembly (Page 1D-47)".
2) Carefully spread the ring opening with your thumbs
and then push up the opposite side of the 1st ring to
remove it.
NOTE
Do not expand the piston ring excessively
since it is apt to be broken down.
3) Remove the 2nd ring and oil ring in the same
manner.
