A. 33 mm (1.3 in)
Read the measurement on the cylinder bore
gauge. The result is the exact piston/cylinder
wall clearance. If clearance exceeds specified
tolerance, replace cylinder or rebore and install
oversize piston depending on engine.
NOTE: Make sure the cylinder bore gauge indica-
tor is set exactly at the same position as with the
micrometer, otherwise the reading will be false.
RING/PISTON GROOVE
CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge check clearance between
rectangular ring and groove. Replace piston if
clearance exceeds specified tolerance.
A35C31A
RING END GAP
Position ring halfway between transfer ports and
intake port.
NOTE: In order to correctly position the ring in the
cylinder, use piston as a pusher.
Using a feeler gauge, check ring end gap. Replace
ring if gap exceeds specified tolerance.
