9. Subtract the piston diameter from the cylinder bore diameter in order to determine the piston-to-bore clearance.
10. If the proper clearance cannot be obtained, select another piston and measure the clearances.
If the proper fit cannot be obtained, the cylinder bore may require boring and honing for an oversize piston or engine block replacement.
