|---|
| 0.057 to 0.101 mm (0.0022 to 0.0040 in.) |
| Maximum groove clearance |
|---|
| 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.) |
If the clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the piston.
No. 2 and oil rings:
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between a new piston ring and the wall of the ring groove.
| Standard groove clearance | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Maximum groove clearance |
|---|
| 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.) |
If the clearance is greater than the 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, 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 | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If the end gap is greater than the maximum, replace the piston ring.
If the end gap is greater than the maximum even with a new piston ring, rebore all 4 cylinders or replace the cylinder block.
INSPECT CONNECTING ROD SUB-ASSEMBLY
Using a rod aligner and feeler gauge, check the connecting rod alignment.
Check if the connecting rod is bent.
