CYLINDER AND PISTON
Piston pin
1. Inspect:
• Piston pin
Blue discoloration/grooves → Replace,
then inspect the lubrication system.
2. Measure:
• Piston pin-to-piston clearance
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Piston ring and piston
1. Install:
• Piston ring
Onto the piston.
N
OTE:
• Be sure to install the piston rings so that the
manufacturer’s marks or numbers are
located on the upper side of the rings.
• Lubricate the piston and piston rings liberally
with engine oil.
Measurement steps:
• Measure the outside diameter (piston pin)
a.
If out of specification, replace the piston
pin.
Outside diameter (piston pin):
15.991 ~ 16.000 mm
(0.6296 ~ 0.6299 in)
• Measure the inside diameter (piston) b.
Inside diameter (piston):
16.002 ~ 16.013 mm
(0.6300 ~ 0.6304 in)
• Calculate the piston pin-to-piston clear-
ance with the following formula.
Piston pin-to-piston clearance =
Inside diameter (piston)
b
–
Outside diameter (piston pin)
a
• If out of specification, replace the piston.
Piston pin-to-piston clearance:
0.002 ~ 0.022 mm
(0.0001 ~ 0.0009 in)
<Limit>: 0.07 mm (0.003 in)
