CYLINDER HEAD AND CYLINDER
2nd step:
•
Measure the piston skirt diameter (P) with a
micrometer.
a 10 mm (0.39 in) from the bottom edge of the piston
•
SEA5200
If out of specification, replace the piston and
piston rings as a set.
3rd step:
•
Calculate the piston-to-cylinder clearance with
the following formula:
Piston-to-cylinder clearance =
Cylinder bore (C) – Piston skirt diameter (P)
•
If out of specification, rebore or replace cylinder,
and replace piston and piston rings as a set.
9. Measure:
•
NOTE:
Eliminate the carbon deposits from the piston ring
grooves and rings before measuring the side clear-

Piston size (standard) (P):
64.932 ~ 64.935 mm
(2.5564 ~ 2.5565 in)
Piston-to-cylinder clearance:
0.065 ~ 0.070 mm
(0.0026 ~ 0.0028 in)
Limit 0.15 mm (0.006 in)
Side clearance (piston rings)
Use the thickness gauge 1.
Out of specification → Replace the piston
and/or rings.
Side clearance (top):
0.02 ~ 0.06 mm
(0.0008 ~ 0.0024 in)
Side clearance (2nd):
0.02 ~ 0.06 mm
(0.0008 ~ 0.0024 in)
