Oil Clearance between Piston
Pin
and Small
End
Bushing
1.
Measure the
0.0.
of the piston
pin
where it contacts the
bushing with
an
outside micrometer.
2.
Measure the
1.0.
of the piston pin bushing
at
the connecting
rod
small end with a cylinder gauge.
Calculate the oil clearance.
3.
If the clearance exceeds the allowable limit, replace the
bushing.
If it still exceeds the allowable limit, replace the piston
pin.

1. Press out the used bushing using a small end bushing
replacing tool.
(When installing)
1. Clean a new small end bushing and bore, and apply engine oil
to them.
2.
Insert a new bushing onto the tool and press-fit it with a press
so that the seam (1) of bushing position
as
shown
until it is flush with the connecting
rod.

NOTE
• Since the

of
the connecting rod small end bushing is
the basis of this check, check the bushing for wear
beforehand.
1.
Remove the piston pin
in

2.
Install the piston pin
in
the connecting
rod.
3. Install the connecting

4. Put a gauge over the piston pin, and move it against the face
plate.
5.
If
the gauge does not fit squarely against the face plate,
measure the space between the pin of the gauge and the face
plate.
6. If the measurement exceeds the allowable limit, replace the
connecting
rod.
