Visually check pistons, pins and connecting rods.
Check piston pin for marks, scratches or excessive
waste.
Measure the diameter of the pin. Check pins taper
and out-of-roundness.

waste. Damages on the connecting rod stem (profile
“I”) could cause cracks and rupture of the connecting
rod. Measure the bore of the connecting rod bushing
housing.
