Cylinders and Pistons
Piston Ring, Piston Ring Groove Wear
•
Check for uneven groove wear by inspecting the ring seat-
ing.
The rings should fit perfectly parallel to the groove sur-
faces. If not, the piston must be replaced.
•
With the piston rings in their grooves, make several mea-
surements w ith a thickness gauge [A] to determine piston
ring/groove clearance.
Piston Ring/Groove Clearance (Top, Second)
Standard
Top
0.04 ∼ 0.08 mm(0.0016 ∼ 0.0031 in.)
Second 0.03 ∼ 0.07 mm(0.0011 ∼ 0.0028 in.)
Service Limit
Top
0.18 m m(0.0070 in.)
Second 0.17 mm(0.0067 in.)
Piston Ring End Gap
•
Place the piston ring inside the cylinder, using the piston
to locate the ring squarely in place. Set it close to the
bottom of the cylinder, where cylinder were is low.
•
Measure the gap between the ends of the ring with a thick-
ness gauge.
Piston Ring End G ap (Top, Second)
Standard: 0.2 ∼ 0.4 m m (0.008 ∼ 0.016 in.)
Service Limit: 0.7 mm (0.028 in .)
Cylinder Inside Diameter
•
Take a side-to-side and a front-to-back measurement at
each of the 3 locations (total of 6 measurements) shown
in the figure.
If any of the measurements exceeds the service limit, the
cylinder will have to be bored to oversize and then honed.
Cylinder I ns id e Diameter
Standard: 75.980 ∼ 76.000 mm (2.9913 ∼ 2.9921
in.) and less than 0.01 mm (0.0004
in.) difference between any two
measurements
Service Limit: 76.10 mm (2.996 in.) or more than 0.05
mm (0.002 in.) difference between any
two measurements
Piston Diameter
•
Measure the outside diameter [A] of the piston 10 mm (0.4
in.) [B] up from the bottom of the piston at right angles to
the direction of the piston pin.
If the measurement is under the service limit, replace the
piston.
Piston D iam eter
Standard:
75.935 ∼ 75.950 mm (2.9896 ∼ 2. 9902
in.)
Service L imit: 75.80 m m (2.984 in.)
