1. Use a M7 x 1.0 x 50 mm
screw as a puller
Push piston upward with or without the cylinder
sleeve.
Remove rubber plug then push piston pin end to
remove from connecting rod.
Inspection
Clean all parts in a solvent and visually inspect for
corrosion damage.
Clean piston ring grooves with a groove cleaner
tool, or a piece of broken ring.
Check bearings and pins for wear and heat discol-
oration. Check connecting rod for straightness.
Replace damaged components.
Inspect piston for damage. Light scratches can be
sanded with a fine sand paper.
If you find aluminum dust or debris in this area,
they may have flowed toward the injection oil res-
ervoir. In this case, the oil reservoir and lines must
be flushed and the filter replaced.
CAUTION:
Failure to properly clean the oil sys-
tem will result in serious engine damage.
The inspection of top end should include the fol-
lowing measurements.
N.A.: Not Applicable
Piston/Cylinder Wall Clearance
Clearance can be quickly checked with a feeler
gauge. Insert feeler gauge in cylinder then slide
piston (without piston rings installed). If clearance
exceeds tolerance, check cylinder top area with
your finger to feel if there is a ridge. If so, the cyl-
inder sleeve is worn and needs replacement. Oth-
erwise, replace piston.
Ring End Gap
Position ring close to top of cylinder top.
NOTE:
In order to correctly position ring in cylin-
der, use piston as a pusher.
Using a feeler gauge, check ring end gap. If gap
exceeds specified tolerance, rings should be re-
placed.
