CYLINDER AND PISTON
3rd step:
Calculate the piston-to-cylinder clearance
G
with following formula:
Piston-to-cylinder clearance =
Cylinder bore "C" –
Piston skirt diameter "P"
Piston-to-cylinder clearance:
0.040 ~ 0.065 mm
(0.0016 ~ 0.0026 in)
<Limit>: 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
If out of specification, replace the cylinder,
G
and replace the piston and piston rings as
set.

Use a feeler gauge 1.
Out of specification → Replace the pis-
ton and rings as a set.
NOTE:
Clean carbon from the piston ring grooves and
rings before measuring the side clearance.

In cylinder.
NOTE:
Insert a ring into the cylinder and push it
approximately 10 mm (0.39 in) into the cylin-
der. Push the ring with the piston crown so that
the ring will be at a right angle to the cylinder
bore.
