Piston / Rod Inspection
1. Measure piston pin bore.
2. Measure piston pin O.D. Replace piston and/or piston pin
if out of tolerance.

4. 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.
