PISTON INSPECTION

Caution
• If the piston is replaced, replace the piston, piston pin, and the snap ring as a single component.

1.Measure the piston outer diameter using the micrometer.

• The measurement position is 12.0 mm {0.472 in} from the lower end of the piston (area with no coating on the piston skirt) and in the thrust direction.
― If it is not within the specification, replace the piston.

Standard piston outer diameter
88.965—88.995 mm {3.5026—3.5037 in}

2.Measure the cylinder bore diameter. (See CYLINDER BLOCK INSPECTION.)

3.Calculate the cylinder-to-piston clearance from the cylinder bore diameter and the piston outer diameter.

• If the clearance exceeds the maximum specification, replace the piston or cylinder block.
Standard clearance between piston and cylinder
0.0250—0.0450 mm {0.00099—0.00177 in}
Maximum clearance between piston and cylinder
0.066 mm {0.0026 in}

4.Measure the piston-to-ring groove clearance along the perimeter using a feeler gauge. For the O-ring, measure the clearance with the O-ring assembled to the piston.

• If the clearance exceeds the maximum specification, replace the piston or piston ring.
