Inspecting pistons Special tools and workshop equipment required t  External micrometer 75...100 mm –  Measure about 10 mm from the lower edge and offset 90° to piston pin axis.    Deviations from specified dimension: max. 0.04 mm

Inspecting cylinder bore Special tools and workshop equipment required t  Internal precision measuring instrument 50...100 mm –  Measure at 3 points crosswise in a transverse direction -A- and lengthwise -B-.    Deviations from specified dimension: max. 0.08 mm   Note Do not measure the cylinder bore if the cylinder block is fixed to the assembly stand -MP 1-202- with the engine mount -MP 9-101-, as this may result in incorrect measurements.
