ATV-1069

Measuring Piston Skirt/Cylinder
Clearance

1. Measure the cylinder front to back in six places.

CC127D

2. Measure the corresponding piston diameter at a point

8 mm above the piston skirt at a right angle to the

piston-pin bore. Subtract this measurement from the

measurement in step 1. The difference (clearance)

must be within specifications.

Installing Piston Rings

1. Install ring expander (4) in the bottom groove of the

piston; then install the thin oil rings (3) over the

expander making sure the expander ends do not

overlap. Stagger the end gaps of the upper and lower

thin oil rings according to the illustration.



NOTE: Note the direction of the exhaust side of the

piston (5) for correct ring end gap orientation.

ATV-1085B

2. Install the compression rings (1 and 2) so the letter(s)

on the top surface of each ring faces the dome of the

piston. Rotate the rings until the ring end gaps are on

directly opposite sides of the piston according to the

illustration.



NOTE: The chrome (silver) ring should be installed

in the top position.

MD1343A

CYLINDER/CYLINDER HEAD
ASSEMBLY



NOTE: If the cylinder/cylinder head assembly can-

not be trued, they must be replaced.

Cleaning/Inspecting Cylinder Head

1. Using a non-metallic carbon removal tool, remove

any carbon buildup from the combustion chamber

being careful not to nick, scrape, or damage the com-

bustion chamber or the sealing surface.

2. Inspect the spark plug hole for any damaged threads.

Repair damaged threads using a “heli-coil” insert.

3. Place the cylinder head on the surface plate covered

with #400 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper. Using light

pressure, move the cylinder head in a figure eight

motion. Inspect the sealing surface for any indication

of high spots. A high spot can be noted by a bright

metallic finish. Correct any high spots before assem-

bly by continuing to move the cylinder head in a fig-

ure eight motion until a uniform bright metallic

finish is attained.

Measuring Cylinder Head Distortion

1. Remove any carbon buildup in the combustion

chamber.

CAUTION

Incorrect installation of the piston rings will result in
engine damage.

CAUTION

The cylinder head studs must be removed for this pro-
cedure.

CAUTION

Water or parts-cleaning solvent must be used in con-
junction with the wet-or-dry sandpaper or damage to
the sealing surface may result.
