INSPECTION OF PISTON AND PISTON RING
Instructions See Figure: Piston and piston ring.
1. Inspect the piston for cracks and signs of piston seizure.
2. Inspect the bore of the piston pin for damage and wear.
3. Inspect the piston pin ring groove for defects.
4. Check free of movement of the piston ring in the ring groove.
NNOOTTEE
If carbon prevents free movement of the piston ring, the ring groove can be
cleaned out with a discarded piston ring.
5. Measure the piston ring clearance in the ring groove with a feeler gauge (1).
NNOOTTEE
If the piston ring clearance has reached the wear limit of 0.1 mm, the piston must
be replaced.
6. Remove the piston ring from the piston, insert it approx. 10 mm from top into the cylinder
(use the piston to do so) and check ring-end gap by means of a feeler gauge.
7. Measure clearance with a feeler gauge.
NNOOTTEE
If the wear limit of 0.8 mm has been reached the piston ring must be replaced.
8. Check the piston ring locking pin for wear.
