Pistons
-
Inspect piston for faults, cracks or other damages. Damaged or faulty piston should be replaced.
-
Piston diameter:
As indicated in figure, piston diameter should be measured at a position 26.5 mm (1.04 inch) from piston skirt end in the direction perpendicular to
piston pin.
-
Piston clearance:
Measure cylinder bore diameter and piston diameter to find their difference which is piston clearance. Piston clearance should be within
specification as given below. If it is out of specification, rebore cylinder and use oversize piston.
Piston clearance: 0.02 - 0.04 mm (0.0008 - 0.0015 inch)
NOTE: Cylinder bore diameters used here are measured in thrust direction at two positions.
