NOTE
New pistons are directional (intake vs. exhaust), but
can be placed in either cylinder.
1.
Note location of the piston circlip gap
q
at the top
(12:00 position) or bottom (6:00 position).
2.
Remove piston circlip and push piston pin out of
piston. If necessary, heat the crown of the piston
slightly with a heat gun if pin cannot be removed by
hand. Discard circlips.
CAUTION
DO NOT apply heat to piston rings or a loss of radial
tension could result.
3.
Measure piston pin bore I. D. in two directions (90°
apart). Replace piston and piston pin if out of
specification.
MEASUREMENT
Piston Pin Bore I.D.:
.7877 - .7881" (20.009 - 20.018 mm)
Service Limit:
.7893" (20.05 mm)
4.
Measure piston pin O.D. in two directions (90° apart)
at three locations on the length. Replace piston and
piston pin if out of specification.
MEASUREMENT
Piston Pin O.D.:
.7873 - .7875" (20.000 - 20.005 mm)
Service Limit:
.7866" (19.98 mm)
