CONNECTING RODS AND PISTONS
5-77
2. Install:
• Piston ring
(into the cylinder)
Level the piston ring into the cylinder with the
piston crown.
3. Measure:
• Piston ring end gap
Out of specification → Replace the piston
ring.
The oil ring expander spacer’s end gap cannot
be measured. If the oil ring rail’s gap is exces-
sive, replace all three piston rings.

CHECKING THE PISTON PIN
1. Check:
• Piston pin
Blue discoloration/grooves → Replace
the piston pin and then check the lubrica-
tion system.
2. Measure:
• Piston pin outside diameter “a”
Out of specification → Replace the piston
pin.
3. Measure:
• Piston pin bore inside diameter “b”
Out of specification → Replace the pis-
ton.
