Piston clearance
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Suzuki Vitara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Measure cylinder bore diameter and piston diameter to find their difference which is piston clearance. Piston clearance should be within specification as given below. If it is out of specification, rebore cylinder and use oversize piston.
Piston clearance
- 0.02-0.04 mm (0.0008-0.0016 in.)
NOTE:
Cylinder bore diameters used here are measured in thrust direction at 2 positions.
