PISTON
CLEANING
1. Using a gasket-scraper, remove the car-
bon from the piston top.
2. Using a broken ring, clean the ring
grooves.
3. Using a soft brush and solvent, thor-
oughly clean the piston. If necessary,
use 600 ~ 800 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper
to remove score marks or varnish.
INSPECTION
1. Using a micrometer, measure the pis-
ton diameter at right angles to the pis-
ton-pin center line, 10 mm (0.4 in)
above the bottom edge.
2. Using the measured cylinder bore
diameter in thrust directions, subtract
the piston diameter measurement from
the cylinder bore diameter measure-
ment.
If this clearance is not within the specifi-
cations, replace the piston with stan-
dard or oversize and/or rebore the
cylinder.
