2. Measure:
• Piston-to-cylinder clearance

a. Measure cylinder bore "C" with the cylinder
bore gauge.
TIP
Measure cylinder bore "C" by taking side-to-
side and front-to-back measurements of the
cylinder. Then, find the average of the mea-
surements.

the piston
d. If out of specification, replace the piston
and piston rings as a set.
e. Calculate the piston-to-cylinder clearance
with the following formula.
Piston-to-cylinder clearance = Cylinder bore

CHECKING THE PISTON RINGS
1. Measure:
• Piston ring side clearance
Out of specification → Replace the piston
and piston rings as a set.
TIP
Before measuring the piston ring side clear-
ance, eliminate any carbon deposits from the
piston ring grooves and piston rings.
