Piston Pin Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Acura Integra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure diameter of piston pin. Zero dial indicator to piston pin diameter. Insert dial indicator into piston pin bore to measure piston pin-to-piston clearance. If clearance exceeds specification, install oversize piston pin and recheck clearance. See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Measure difference between piston pin diameter and connecting rod small end diameter. Ensure interference fit between piston and connecting rod is within specification. See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
