| Standard groove clearance | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Maximum groove clearance |
|---|
| 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.) |
If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the piston.
Inspect the piston ring end gap.
Insert the piston ring into the cylinder bore.
Using a piston, push the piston ring a little beyond the bottom of the ring travel, 120 mm (4.72 in.) from the top of the cylinder block.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the end gap.
| Standard end gap | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Maximum end gap | ||||||
