Piston Ring
Piston ring end gap
To measure end gap, insert piston ring (2) into cylinder
bore and then measure the gap by using thickness
gauge (1).
If measured gap exceeds limit, replace ring.
NOTE
Decarbonize and clean top of cylinder bore
before inserting piston ring.

Piston Pins and Connecting Rods Inspection

Piston Pin
Visual inspection
Check piston pin, connecting rod small end bore and
piston bore for wear or damage, paying particular
attention to condition of small end bore bush. If pin,
connecting rod small end bore or piston bore is badly
worn or damaged, replace pin, connecting rod and/or
piston.
Piston pin clearance
Check piston pin clearance in small end and piston.
Replace connecting rod and/or piston if its small end is
badly worn or damaged or if measured clearance
exceeds limit.
