Piston - Pin To Bore Diameter
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mercury Sable and 2003 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Measure the piston pin bore diameter in two directions on each side. Verify the diameter is within specification.
- If out of specification, install new components as necessary. Refer to the appropriate ENGINE article for the procedure.
WARNING:
Cover the end of the pin bore with a hand or shop rag when removing the retainer ring, since it has a tendency to spring out. Wear eye protection.
NOTE:
Piston and piston pins are a matched set and should not be interchanged.
