Piston
Piston Diameter
z Use a micrometer to measure the diameter at the
point 10mm above the piston end, as illustrated on
the right. If the measurement is less that the limit,
replace the piston
Standard: 87.460-87.480mm
Limit: 87.380mm
Tool: Micrometer (75-100mm)
z Calculate the piston to cylinder clearance according
to the above measurement.
z If the clearance is more than 0.15mm, replace the
cylinder or piston, or both.
Piston Ring to Groove Clearance
z Use a thickness gauge to measure the side
clearance of top
t
ring and 2
nd
ring.
z If the clearance exceeds the limit, replace both
piston and piston rings.
