Fitting Pistons

  1. After checking block for distortion, cracks, scratches or other abnormalities, measure bores at 3 levels. If any distortion exceeds.001" (.02 mm) from standard bore size, block must be rebored and oversize pistons installed.
    NOTE: Replacement pistons are available in standard.25 mm.50 mm.75 mm and 1.0 mm oversizes. Oversize pistons are stamped on crown to indicate oversize.
  2. Check outside diameter of piston by measuring at a point.079" (2 mm) from bottom of skirt and at 90° to pin bore. Determine amount of cylinder reboring required to meet specified clearance.
NOTE: Pin-to-rod fit at normal temperature requires 1,102-3,306 lbs. (500-1500 kg) to press pin through rod.
