Piston & Piston Pin Inspection
- Check piston, piston pins and piston ring grooves for damage, cracks and wear. Replace components as necessary. Measure piston-to-cylinder clearance. See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS SPECIFICATIONS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
- If clearance is not as specified, replace piston or bore cylinder and use an oversized piston. Ensure piston pin can be inserted into piston hole using thumb pressure at 68°F (20°C). Replace pin if it is defective.
