Fitting Pistons

  1. After checking block for cracks, scratches or other abnormalities, measure bores at 3 levels to check distortion. If any distortion exceeds .001" (.02 mm) from standard bore size, block must be rebored and oversize pistons installed.
    NOTE: 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 amount.
  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.
