CHECKING THE CYLINDER AND PISTON
1. Check:
• Piston wall
• Cylinder wall
Vertical scratches → Replace the cylinder,
and replace the piston and piston rings as
a set.
2. Measure:
• Piston-to-cylinder clearance

a. Measure cylinder bore “C” with the cylinder
bore gauge.
NOTE:
Measure cylinder bore “C” by taking side-to-
side and front-to-back measurements of the
cylinder. Then, find the average of the mea-
surements.
b. If out of specification, replace the cylinder,
and replace the piston and piston rings as
a set.
c. Measure piston skirt diameter “P” with the
micrometer.
d. If out of specification, replace the piston
and piston rings as a set.
e. Calculate the piston-to-cylinder clearance
with the following formula.
f. If out of specification, replace the cylinder,
and the piston and piston rings as a set.

CHECKING THE PISTON RINGS
1. Measure:
• Piston ring side clearance
Out of specification → Replace the piston
and piston rings as a set.
NOTE:
Before measuring the piston ring side clear-
ance, eliminate any carbon deposits from the
piston ring grooves and piston rings.
