Checking the piston ring end gap
1. Level the piston ring “1” in the cylinder
using a piston crown at the specified
measuring point “a”.
2. Measure the piston ring end gap “b”.
Checking the piston ring groove
1. Measure the piston ring grooves.
Checking the piston ring side
clearance
1. Measure the piston ring side clearance.
Checking the piston pin boss inside
diameter
1. Measure the piston pin boss inside diam-
eter “a”.
TIP:
When measuring the piston pin boss inside
diameter, do not measure it at the ring groove
“b” or oil groove “c”.
