NOTE:
Measure cylinder bore "C" by taking side-to-side
and front-to-back measurements of the cylinder.
Then, find the average of the measurements.

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

Ring side clearance
0.030–0.065 mm (0.0012–

0.0022 in)
2. Install:
• Piston ring
(into the cylinder)
