PISTON & Rod Assembly Inspection
- Inspect piston for cracks or damage in ring areas. Check ring side clearance. Measure piston pin O.D. and piston pin bore I.D. Replace piston if measurements are not within specification.
- See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS SPECIFICATIONS and CONNECTING RODS tables under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Ensure piston pin can be installed in piston at 68°F (20°C). Replace components if piston pin cannot be installed.
