Top Clearance
1. Remove the cylinder head.
2. Move the piston up and stick a strip of fuse on the piston head
at three position with grease.
3. Lower the piston and install the cylinder head. (Use a new
cylinder head gasket and tighten with a specified tightening
torque.)
4. Turn the flywheel until the piston exceeds top dead center.
5. Remove the cylinder head and measure the thickness of the
fuses.
6. If the measurement is not within the factory specifications,
check the oil clearances between the crankpin and bearing and
between the piston pin and bushing.
NOTE
• After checking the top clearance, be sure to assemble the
cylinder head with a new cylinder head gasket.
