Oil Clearance between Piston Pin and Small End Bushing
1. Measure the O.D. of the piston pin where it contacts the bushing
with an outside micrometer.
2. Measure the I.D. of the piston pin bushing at the connecting rod
small end with a cylinder gauge.
Calculate the oil clearance.
3. If the clearance exceeds the allowable limit, replace the bushing.
If it still exceeds the allowable limit, replace the piston pin.

Replacing Small End Bushing
(When removing)
1. Press out the used bushing using a small end bushing replacing
tool.
(When installing)
1. Clean a new small end bushing and bore, and apply engine oil to
them.
2. Insert a new bushing onto the tool and press-fit it with a press so
that the seam (1) of bushing position as shown in the figure, until
it is flash with the connecting rod.
