PISTON - INSPECTION
Fig. 5
NOTE:
Two sizes of pistons are available, red
and green. The difference is 0.01 mm
(0.00039 in.). The "red" piston is the
smaller one. The nominal size of the pis-
ton is stamped on the piston crown.
Oversized pistons are not available. The
piston is only delivered with 3 rings.
NOTE:
The flank clearance can be measured on
the installed rings using a feeler gauge.
Multiple deposits in the spiral expander
of the oil scraper ring suggests that AV-
GAS 100LL has been used.

Step
Procedure
1
Remove the piston rings with the piston
ring pliers.
NOTE:
Removed rings must be re-in-
stalled in the same position and
location.
2
Remove carbon residues from piston
rings and ring grooves and from the piston
crown.
NOTE:
The best way to clean the groo-
ve root is with an old, broken pis-
ton ring.
Multiple deposits are likely if AV-
GAS 100LL is used.
3
Check the groove for the piston pin circlip.
Carefully remove any burrs.
NOTE:
If the groove is excessively worn
(>0.3 mm (0.0118 in.) than the
retaining ring), the piston must
be replaced.

Step
Procedure
4
Visually inspect and measure the piston.
Measure the cylinder and determine the
permissible installation clearance. See
also section 72-30-10 Wear limits.
NOTE:
If the determined installation
clearance is greater than the
permissible installation clearan-
ce, the piston and/or cylinder
must be replaced.
5
Determine the diameter of the piston pin
bore. See also section 72-30-10 Wear li-
mits.
