Inspection: Piston ring side clearance in piston groove
• Remove any carbon deposits from the ring groove in the piston
before measurement.
• Measure the side clearance of each ring around the piston's en-
tire periphery.
• If any of the measurements exceeds the specified limit, replace
the defective part(s). If any of the piston rings is defective, re-
place all the rings on the piston as a set.
Inspection: Piston pin-to-piston clearance
• If the measurement exceeds the specified limit, replace the de-
fective part(s).
Inspection: Piston pin-to-connecting rod bushing clearance
• If any of the measurements exceeds the specified limit, replace
the bushing.
Replacement of connecting rod bushing
• Replace the connecting rod bushing using
[Removal]
• Remove the upper bearing (if fitted) from the big end of the con-
necting rod.
• Mount the connecting rod on the base and lock it in position with
the bracket and plate.
• Fit collar A over the puller with its ends facing in the illustrated di-
rections. Then, slowly apply a pressure of approximately 49 kN
{5000 kgf} to the puller with a press to force out the connecting
rod bushing.
