Cylinder and piston inspection
The following procedure applies to all of the
cylinders and pistons.
1. Check:
• Piston wall
• Cylinder wall
Vertical scratches → Replace the cylin-
der, and the piston and piston rings as a
set.
2. Measure:
• Piston-to-cylinder clearance
Measurement steps:
• Measure cylinder bore "C" with the cylin-
der bore gauge.
Cylinder bore "C"
Taper limit "T"
Out of round "R"
"C" = maximum of D
"T" = maximum of D

• If out of specification, replace the cylin-

set.
• Measure piston skirt diameter "P" with the
micrometer.
