Piston And Piston Pin Clearance

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure inner diameter of piston pin hole inner diameter "dp".
    1. Piston pin hole inner diameter "dp" : 18.993 - 19.005 mm (0.7478 - 0.7482 in)

  3. Calculate piston pin clearance Dp - dp.
    1. Piston pin to piston clearance : 0.002 - 0.006 mm (0.0001 - 0.0002 in) 

    If it exceeds the above value, replace piston assembly with pin.
