7. Measure the piston ring side clearance with a feeler gauge.
8. If side clearance is too small, try another piston ring set.
9. If proper piston ring-to-piston ring groove clearance cannot be achieved, replace the piston and pin assembly.
10. To determine the proper piston ring side clearance use engine specifications.
11. To determine piston pin-to-bore clearance, use a micrometer and measure the piston pin.
12. To determine piston pin-to-bore clearance, use an inside micrometer and measure the piston pin bore.
NOTE: The piston and pin are a matched set. If the clearance is not within specifications, replace the piston and pin as an assembly.
