WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora and 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Measure the piston pin to connecting rod bore using the following procedure:
- 1.1. Using an outside micrometer, take two measurements of the piston pin in the area of the connecting rod contact.
- 1.2. Using an inside micrometer, measure the connecting rod piston pin bore.
- 1.3. Subtract the piston pin diameter from the piston pin bore.
- 1.4. The clearance should not exceed 0.016 mm (0.0006 in).
- If the clearance is excessive, replace the piston pin.
