• Piston clearance:
Measure cylinder bore diameter and piston diameter to find
their difference which is piston clearance. Piston clearance
should be within specification as given below. If it is out of
specification, rebore cylinder and use oversize piston.
Piston clearance
Standard : 0.032 – 0.061 mm (0.0013 – 0.0024 in.)
Limit : 0.161 mm (0.0063 in.)
NOTE:
Cylinder bore diameters used here are measured in
thrust direction at two positions.
"a" : 19.5 mm (0.77 in.)
• Ring groove clearance:
Before checking, piston grooves must be clean, dry and free
of carbon deposits.
Fit new piston ring (1) into piston groove, and measure clear-
ance between ring and ring land by using thickness gauge
(2).
If clearance is out of limit, replace piston.
Ring groove clearance
Top ring
Standard : 0.03 – 0.07 mm (0.0012 – 0.0028 in.)
Limit : 0.12 mm (0.0047 in.)
2nd ring
Standard : 0.02 – 0.06 mm (0.0008 – 0.0024 in.)
Limit : 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
Oil ring
Standard : 0.03 – 0.17 mm (0.0012 – 0.0067 in.)
Piston Pin
• Check piston pin, connecting rod small end bore and piston
bore for wear or damage, paying particular attention to con-
dition of small end bore bush. If pin, connecting rod small
end bore or piston bore is badly worn or damaged, replace
pin, connecting rod and/or piston.
