Repair Procedures: Inspection: Piston

1. Using a gasket scraper, remove the carbon from the piston top.
2. Using a groove cleaning tool or broken ring, clean the piston ring grooves.
3. Using solvent and a brush, thoroughly clean the piston.

Information 

Do not use a wire brush.

Piston-to-cylinder clearance: 

0.02 ~ 0.04 mm (0.0008 ~ 0.0016 in.)

1. Using a cylinder bore gauge, measure the cylinder bore diameter at position in the thrust and axial direction.

   Cylinder bore diameter: 

   81.00 ~ 81.03 mm (3.1890 ~ 3.1902 in.)

   Information 

   Measure position points (from the top of the cylinder block):

   30 mm (1.1811 in.)/60 mm (2.3622 in.)/90 mm (3.5433 in.)

2. Measure the piston outside diameter at 35 mm (1.3780 in) from top land of the piston.

   Piston outside diameter: 

   80.97 ~ 81.00 mm (3.1878 ~ 3.1890 in.)
