      Distance
      65.00 - 65.06 mm (2.5591 - 2.5614 in.)
    3. Calculate the amount each cylinder is to be rebored as follows:

      Size to be rebored = P + C - H
      P = Piston diameter
      C = Piston clearance: 0.070 - 0.090 mm (0.0028 - 0.0035 in.)
      H = Allowance for honing: 0.02mm(0.0008 in.) or less
    4. Bore and hone the cylinders to calculated dimensions.

      Maximum honing
      0.02 mm (0.0008 in.)

      Note

      Excess honing will destroy the finished roundness.
