Piston Pin Bore Measurement Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Piston pin bores and pins must be free of varnish or scuffing.
- Use an outside micrometer to measure the piston pin in the piston contact areas.
- Using an inside micrometer, measure the piston pin bore.
- Subtract the measurement of the piston pin bore from the piston pin.
- Compare the result with the Engine Mechanical Specifications (LD8) or Engine Mechanical Specifications (L37) .
- If the clearance is excessive, determine which piece is out of specification and replace as necessary.
