a. Measure cylinder bore "C" with the cylinder
bore gauge.
TIP
Measure cylinder bore "C" by taking side-to-side
and front-to-back measurements of the cylinder.
Then, find the average of the measurements.

e. Calculate the piston-to-cylinder clearance
with the following formula.

CHECKING THE PISTON RINGS

1. Measure:
• Piston ring side clearance
Out of specification → Replace the piston
and piston rings as a set.
TIP
Before measuring the piston ring side clearance,
eliminate any carbon deposits from the piston
ring grooves and piston rings.

Piston-to-cylinder clearance
0.020–0.045 mm (0.0008–0.0018
in)
Limit
0.150 mm (0.0059 in)
