Piston and Rod Inspection
1. Measure piston pin bore.
2. Measure piston pin O.D. Replace piston and/or piston pin
if out of tolerance.
3. Measure piston ring to groove clearance by placing the ring
in the ring land and measuring with a thickness gauge.
Replace piston and rings if ring–to–groove clearance
exceeds service limits.
4. Measure connecting rod small end ID.
