  1. Measure piston diameter at 90-degree angle to piston pin, on piston pin center line. Measure cylinder bore diameter 2 1/2" below cylinder block deck. Determine piston clearance.
  2. If piston clearance is not within specification, replace piston and/or machine cylinder bore as necessary. See CYLINDER BLOCK  and PISTONS, PINS & RINGS  tables under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
