2. Measure the cylinder bore diameter at several points
with a bore gauge (Figure 32, typical). Figure 33 shows
the points
of
normal cylinder wear.
If
dimension A ex-
ceeds dimension B by more than 0.02 rom (0.0008 in.),
rebore the cylinderand install anew piston/ringassembly.
3.
If
the cylinder bore is damaged or excessively worn,
rebore the cylinder bore and install a new piston.
If
the
piston is worn, but the cylinder bore is good, install a new
piston.

NOTE
Obtain the new piston
and
have it available
so the machine shop can bore the cylinderto
the correct oversize dimension.
Piston Ring FitlInstaUation
1. Check the ring gap
of
each piston ring. Todo this, posi-
tion the ring at the bottom
of
the ring travel area and
square it by tapping gently with an inverted piston. See
Figure 34.
NOTE
If
the cylinder has not been rebored, check
the gap at the bottom
of
the ring travel,
where the cylinder is least worn.
