CYLINDER

1. Inspect the cylinder walls for vertical scratches and  Rebore or Replace cylinder as required.

2. Measure the cylinder inside diameter.

NOTE:
Obtain measurements at three depths by placing measuring instrument parallel to and at right angles to crankshaft.

Out of specification -> Rebore cylinder, and replace piston and piston rings.

 

 

Standard

Wear Limit

Cylinder bore: C

68.000-68.005 mm 
(2.6772 ~ 2 .6774 in)

68.1 mm
(2.6811 in)

Cylinder taper: T

     0

0.05 mm 
(0.002 in)

 

C= Maximum D
T= Maximum of D1or D2 minus Minimum of D5 or D6

PISTON, PISTON RING, AND PISTON PIN

Piston 1 . Measure the piston skirt diameter "P" 2

NOTE:
Measure the piston skirt diameter where the distance 1 is 5.0 mm (0.197 in) from the piston bottom edge.

 

Piston Size P

Standard

68.00 mm 
(2.6772 in)

Oversize 2

68.50 mm 
(2.6969 in)

Oversize 4

69.00 mm 
(2.7165 in)

2. Measure the piston clearance

Piston Clearance = Cylinder inside diameter "C" minus Piston skirt diameter "P"

Out of specification -> Rebore cylinder, and replace piston and piston rings.

Piston Clearance: 0.06 - 0.08 mm (0.0024 - 0.0031 in)

Piston Ring 1 .

Measure ring side clearance. Use a feeler gauge. 

Out of specification ->  Replace piston.

NOTE:
Clean carbon from piston ring grooves and rings before measuring side clearance.

 

Piston Ring Side Clearance (Limit):

Top Ring

0.15 mm (0.006 in)

2nd Ring

0.15 mm (0.006 in)

2. Position the piston ring in cylinder.

NOTE:
Insert a ring into cylinder, and push it approximately 2 0 mm (0.8 in) into cylinder. Push ring with piston crown so that ring will be at a right angle to cylinder bore.

3. Measure the ring end gap. Replace if out of specification.

NOTE:
You cannot measure end gap on expander spacer of oil control ring. If oil control ring rails show excessive gap, replace all three rings.

 

End Gap Limit (Installed):

Top Ring

1.0 mm (0.040 in)

2nd Ring

1.0 mm (0.040 in)

Oil Ring

1.5 mm (0.060 in)

 

Piston Ring Oversize

•Top and 2 nd piston ring Oversize top and middle ring sizes are stamped on top of ring.

Oversize 2

0.50 mm (0.0197 in)

Oversize 4

1.00 mm (0.0394 in)

 

• Oil control ring Expander spacer of bottom ring (oil control ring) is color-coded to identify sizes.

Oversize 2

Red

Oversize 4

Piston Pin

1. Lubricate piston pin (Lightly)

2.  Install:

• Piston pin 1 into small end of connecting rod 2.

3.  Check for free play

Free play ->  Inspect connecting rod for wear.

Wear ->  Replace connecting rod and piston pin.

4.  Position the piston pin 1 into piston.

5.  Check for free play in piston.

Free play -> Replace piston pin and/or piston.
