Use the special tool to measure clearance
A
of the piston rings in the piston ring
groove.
Guideline
Piston ring - groove clearance
≤
0.08 mm (
≤
0.0031 in)
Feeler gauge (59029041100) (

» If clearance
A
is larger than the specified value:
–
Change the piston and piston rings.
–
Check/measure the cylinder. (

–
Check the piston bearing surface for damage.
» If the piston bearing surface is damaged:
–
Change the piston and, if necessary, the cylinder.
–
Check that the piston rings can move easily in the piston ring grooves.
» If the piston ring is stiff:
–
Clean the piston ring groove.
Tip
Use an old piston ring to clean the piston ring groove.
–
Check the piston rings for damage.
» If the piston ring is damaged:
–
Change the piston ring.
Info
Mount the piston ring with the marking facing upward.
–
Check the piston pin for discoloration or signs of wear.
» If the piston pin has strong discoloration/signs of wear:
–
Change the piston pin.
–
Insert the piston pin into the connecting rod and check the bearing for play.
» If the piston pin bearing has too much play:
–
Change the connecting rod and the piston pin.
