Piston Pin To Connecting Rod Bore And Piston Bore Clearance
- Measure the clearance between the piston pin and the connecting rod bore. Use the following procedure:
- Measure the piston pin outside diameter.
- Measure the connecting rod bore diameter.
- Substract the piston pin outside diameter from the connecting rod diameter to calculate the clearance.
- Refer to the ENGINE MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS for the correct value of the clearance piston pin in the connecting rod.
- If there is excessive clearance, replace the piston pin.
- If there is still excessive clearance, replace the connecting rod.
- Measure the clearance between the piston pin and the piston bore. Use the following procedure:
- Measure the piston pin outside diameter.
- Measure the piston bore diameter.
- Substract the piston pin outside diameter from the piston bore diameter to calculate the clearance.
- Refer to ENGINE MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS for the correct value of the clearance piston pin in the piston.
- If there is excessive clearance, replace the piston pin.
- If there is still excessive clearance, replace the piston.
