CLEANING
Clean carbon from piston head and ring grooves, using a suitable tool.
INSPECTION
Cylinders
-
Inspect cylinder walls for scratches, roughness, or ridges which indicate excessive wear. If cylinder bore is very rough or deeply scratched, or
ridged, rebore cylinder and use oversize piston.
-
Using a cylinder gauge, measure cylinder bore in thrust and axial directions at two positions as shown in figure. If any of following conditions is
noted, rebore cylinder.
1. Cylinder bore diameter exceeds limit.
2. Difference of measurements at two positions exceeds taper limit.
3. Difference between thrust and axial measurements exceeds out-of-round limit.
Cylinder bore diameter limit: 75.15 mm (2.9586 inch)
Tapper and out-of-round limit: 0.10 mm (0.0039 inch)
NOTE: If any one of four cylinders has to be rebored, rebore all four to the same next oversize. This is necessary for the sake of uniformity
and balance.
Pistons
-
Inspect piston for faults, cracks or other damaged. Damaged or faulty piston should be replaced.
