1. Use the micrometer to set the cylinder bore gauge
2. Dial bore gauge
1. Indicator set to zero
Position the dial bore gauge at 16 mm (5/8 in) be-
low cylinder top edge.
1. Measuring perpendicularly (90°) to piston pin axis
A. 16 mm (5/8 in)
Read the measurement on the cylinder bore
gauge. The result is the exact piston/cylinder wall
clearance.
NOTE: Make sure the cylinder bore gauge indica-
tor is set exactly at the same position as with the
micrometer, otherwise the reading will be false.
Ring/Piston Groove Clearance
717 and 787 Engines
Using a feeler gauge, check clearance between
rectangular ring and groove. If clearance exceeds
specified tolerance, replace piston.
NOTE: Ring/piston groove clearance can be cor-
rectly measured only on rectangular ring which is
bottom ring.
1. Feeler gauge
2. Rectangular ring (bottom)
947 Engine
Due to the semi-trapez rings, it is not possible to
accurately measure ring/piston groove clearance.
Ring End Gap
Position ring halfway between exhaust port and
top of cylinder.
NOTE: In order to correctly position ring in cylin-
der, use piston as a pusher.
Using a feeler gauge, check ring end gap. If gap
exceeds specified tolerance, rings should be re-
placed.
