Replace the piston if scratches or
seizure is evident on its surfaces (especially the
thrust surface). Replace the piston if it is
cracked.

|
1.Insert the piston pin into
the piston pin hole with a thumb. You should feel a slight
resistance. Replace the piston pin if it can be easily
inserted or there is excessive play.
|
|
2.The piston and piston pin
must be replace as an assembly.
|
|
1.Check for side
clearance. If the limit is exceeded, replace the ring or
piston, or both. Standard
value:
No.1: 0.03 - 0.07
mm No.2: 0.02 - 0.06
mm
|
|
2.Install the piston ring
into the cylinder bore. Force the ring down with a piston,
the
piston crown being in contact with the ring, to correctly
position it at right angles to the
cylinder wall. Then, measure the end gap with a feeler
gauge.
note |
If the end gap is excessive,
replace the piston ring.
|
Standard value:
No.1 ring:
0.35 - 0.45 mm No.2 ring: 0.45 - 0.60
mm Oil ring: 0.20 - 0.60
mm
Limit:
No.1, No.2 ring: 0.8
mm Oil ring: 1.0 mm

1.Remove oil from the
crankshaft pin and connecting rod bearing.
|
|
2.Cut the plastigage to the
same length as the width of bearing and place it on
crankshaft
pin in parallel with its axis.
|
|
3.Install the connecting rod
cap carefully and tighten the nuts to the specified torque.
(See "Connecting rod cap nut tightening"
procedure.)
|
|
4.Carefully remove the
connecting rod cap.
|
|
5.Measure the width of the
plastigage at its widest part by using a scale printed on
its
package. Standard value: 0.016 - 0.046
mm Limit: 0.1 mm
