• ring end gap
Out of specification
Replace.
Repairing limit value
Top ring/2nd ring:0.5mm
• ring side clearance
Use a thickness gauge.
Out of specification
Replace the piston and
rings as a set.
NOTE:
Clean carbon from the piston ring grooves
and rings before measuring the side
clearance.
Side clearance
Standard Limit
Top ring 0.04~0.08mm 0.13mm
2nd ring 0.03~0.07mm 0.13mm
• piston pin-to-piston clearance.
a. Measure the piston pin outside diameter.
Repairing limit value
0.02mm
b. Measure the piston pin bore inside diameter.
Repairing limit value
0.02mm
c. Calculate the piston pin-to-piston clearance
with the following formula.
Piston pin-to-piston clearance = Piston pin
bore inside diameter – Piston pin outside
diameter
d. If out of specification, replace the piston.
