Piston; End Gap; Wrist Pin Check - SHERCO 125 Workshop Manual

ENGINE PARTS CHECK
❱❘ Piston
• In case of fitting an used piston, check the following points:
• Skirt: Looking for seizure marks. Lights marks can be removed with
a soft stone.
• Ring grooves: rings must be free in their grooves. In order to clean
the grooves, you can use an old ring.
• The ring pins should not be worn or loose.
• Rings : check condition and end gap
❱❘ End gap
• Insert the ring in the cylinder, using the piston to make it square to the cylinder axis, to
about 10mm of the cylinder deck.
• Measure end gap using a thickness gauge.
Ring end gap :
Standard :
125 : 0.35mm – 0.50mm
250 / 300 : 0.2mm – 0.4mm
If the end gap is greater than specified, you must check cylinder and piston condition. If
they are within tolerance, only replace the rings.
