CYLINDER HEAD, CYLINDER AND PISTON
3. Measure:
• Cylinder bore "C"
Use cylinder gauge "1".
Out of specification → Replace.
Measure the cylinder bore "C" in par-
allel (A, B, C) to and at right angles to
the crankshaft (a, b). Then, find the
average of the measurements.
CHECKING THE PISTON
1. Eliminate:
• Carbon deposits
From the piston crown "a" and
ring groove "b".
2. Inspect:
• Piston wall
Score marks → Repair or replace.
3. Measure:
• Piston skirt diameter
Use micrometer "1".
Measure the specific distance "b"
from the stepped surface "a" on
inside of the piston.
Out of specification → Replace.
CHECKING THE PISTON PIN AND
SMALL END BEARING
1. Inspect:
• Piston pin
• Small end bearing
Signs of heat discoloration → Re-
place.
2. Measure:
• Piston pin outside diameter
Use micrometer "1".
Out of specification → Replace.
3. Check:
• Free play (when the piston pin "1"
is in place in the piston "2")
There should be no noticeable for
the play.
Free play exists→ Replace piston
pin and/or piston.
4. Install:
• Small end bearing
• Piston pin
Into the small end of connecting
rod.
5. Check:
• Free play
There should be no noticeable
free play.
Free play exists → Inspect the
connecting rod for wear/Replace
the pin and/or connecting rod as
required.
CHECKING THE PISTON RING
1. Install:
• Piston ring
Into the cylinder.
Push the ring with the piston
crown.
2. Measure:
• End gap
Use a thickness gauge "1".
Out of specification → Replace.
