Final Measurement Procedure with
either a Used or New Piston
With the micrometer set to the piston dimension,
adjust a cylinder bore gauge to the micrometer
dimension and set the indicator to zero.

1. Use the micrometer to set the cylinder bore gauge
2. Dial bore gauge
F00B0AA

1. Indicator set to zero
Position the dial bore gauge at 16 mm (5/8 in) be-
low cylinder top edge.

A
1. Measuring perpendicularly (90°) to piston pin axis
A. 16 mm (5/8 in)
Read the measurement on the cylinder bore
gauge. The result is the exact piston/cylinder wall
clearance.
NOTE: Make sure the cylinder bore gauge indica-
tor is set exactly at the same position as with the
micrometer, otherwise the reading will be false.
RING/PISTON GROOVE
CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, check clearance between
rectangular ring and groove. If clearance exceeds
specified tolerance, replace piston.
