Overhaul of the cylinder barrel/piston components
Overhauling the cylinder
Check that the walls of the cylinder bore are perfectly smooth. Measure the cylinder bore diameter (D) at three different heights
and in two directions offset by 90°, thereby determining the assembly clearance, taper, and ovality (see specified values in
Sect. C 1.1, Cylinder/Piston).
In the event of damage or excessive wear the barrel must be renewed as it has a silicon carbide coating (which provides the
cylinder walls with excellent anti-friction and anti-wear properties) and therefore cannot be rebored.
The cylinders are marked by a letter (punched into the specific surface on the cylinder side) showing the class to which they belong.
Always match cylinders with pistons from the same size class.
