  1. To determine if piston-to-cylinder clearance is within specification, measure piston skirt diameter 1.62" (41 mm) from top of piston, at 90-degree angle to piston pin.
  2. Ensure piston diameter is within specification. See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Measure cylinder bore diameter just below top of bore and just above bottom of cylinder bore.
  3. Ensure cylinder bore diameter is within specification. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Determine piston clearance. Replace piston or bore cylinder block if clearance is not as specified. See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Cylinder block can be bored for .010" (.25 mm) or .020" (.51 mm) oversize pistons.
