5. Remove cap and using a scale on gaging plastic envelope, measure gaging plastic width at the widest point (clearance).
If clearance exceeds its limit, use a new standard size bearing and remeasure clearance.
6. If clearance can not be brought to within its limit even by using a new standard size bearing, regrind crankpin to undersize and use 0.25 mm
undersize bearing.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Two sizes of piston are available as standard size spare part so as to ensure proper piston-to-cylinder clearance. When installing a standard
size piston, make sure to match piston with cylinder as follows.
a. Each piston has stamped number 1 or 2 as shown. It represents outer diameter of piston.
b. There are also stamped numbers of 1 and 2 on the cylinder block as shown. The first number represents inner diameter of No.1 cylinder, the
second number of No.2 cylinder, the third number of No.3 cylinder and the fourth number of No.4 cylinder.
c. Stamped number on piston and that on cylinder block should correspond. That is, install number 2 stamped piston to cylinder which is identified
with number 2 and a number 1 Piston to cylinder with number 1.
