INSPECT PISTON PIN OIL CLEARANCE
Tech Tips
When replacing the piston sub-assembly (w/ pin) with a supply part, there are a number of piston diameter sizes to choose from, but there is only one size of piston pin diameter.
Inspect the piston pin fit.
Heat the piston to approximately. 60°C (140°F), and push the piston pin into the piston pin hole with your thumb.
If the pin can be installed at a lower temperature, replace the piston and pin as a set.
Using a micrometer, measure the piston pin diameter.
| Standard piston pin diameter | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Inspect the piston pin oil clearance.
Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the connecting rod bush.

|---|
| 0.004 to 0.012 mm (0.000157 to 0.000472 in.) |
| Maximum oil clearance |
|---|
| 0.05 mm (0.00197 in.) |
If the oil clearance is more than the maximum, replace the bush.
If necessary, replace the piston and piston pin with a new piston and pin set.
INSPECT RING GROOVE CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between a new piston ring and the wall of the ring groove.
| Standard Groove Clearance | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the piston.
INSPECT PISTON RING END GAP
Insert the compression ring into the cylinder bore.
Using a piston, push the compression ring a little beyond the bottom of the ring travel, 140 mm (5.15 in.) from the top of the cylinder block.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the end gap.
| Standard End Gap | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Maximum End Gap | ||||||||
