Install

 

Measure piston head projection at three points per piston and determine the average of all 12 measurements.

 

Remove combustion residues from piston head and cylinder head before measuring.

 

Place magnet holder with gauge on piston head and set gauge to "0".

 

Turn magnet holder until probe tip of dial gauge rests on sealing surface of cylinder block.

 

 

Object Number: 2378725  Size: DEFAULT

 

 

Select cylinder head gasket:

Average piston projection - Cylinder head gasket

0.58 to 0.64 mm       - 1.35 mm A = one notch

0.65 to 0.70 mm       - 1.40 mm B = two notches

0.71 to 0.78 mm       - 1.45 mm C = three notches

 

If the measurement of the piston projection shows that even one of the total of 12 measured values exceeds the upper limit of the gasket selection range in question by 0.05 mm/0.002 in. or more, then select the next gasket class.
