Inspect Piston and Pin
1.
Inspect piston (K) for scoring, galling, or other damage.
Replace piston if necessary.
2.
Using a dial caliper or plug gauge, measure the pin bore
diameter. Compare with reject dimensions listed in
Section 14 - Engine Specifications. If pin bore
exceeds reject dimensions, replace the piston.
3.
Measure outside diameter of pin (R) and compare to
the reject dimension listed in
Section 14 - Engine
Specifications. If pin is smaller than the reject
dimension, replace the pin.
4.
Clean any carbon from the top ring groove in piston.
5.
Place NEW compression ring in top groove and, using
a feeler gauge, measure clearance between ring and
ring land. Compare with reject dimension listed in
Section 14 - Engine Specifications. If clearance meets
or exceeds the reject dimension, replace the piston.

Check Ring End Gap
It is recommended that the entire ring set be replaced when
servicing the piston and/or cylinder bore. However, the
original rings can be re-used if they are not damaged and
are checked as follows:
1.
Clean all carbon from the rings and the cylinder bore.
2.
Insert one of the original rings approximately one inch
down the cylinder bore.
NOTE: Slide the ring into the cylinder using the piston. This
will ensure that the ring is positioned square in the cylinder.
45
3.
Measure the ring end gap with a feeler gauge.
4.
Repeat the procedure for each ring in the set.
5.
Compare with reject dimensions listed in Section 14 -
Engine Specifications. If gap of any of the rings meets
or exceeds the reject dimensions, all rings should be
replaced as a set.
Inspect Connecting Rod
If the bearing surfaces on the connecting rod (J) are scored,
the connecting rod must be replaced.
1.
Reinstall rod cap and bolts on rod.
2.
Using a dial caliper or plug gauge, measure the two
bearing diameters. Compare with reject dimensions
listed in
Section 14 - Engine Specifications. If either
bearing exceeds the reject dimensions, the rod must
be replaced.
46
3.
Remove rod bolts and rod cap. Set aside.
