CHECKING THE PISTON RINGS
1. Measure:
• piston ring side clearance
Out of specification
→
Replace the piston
and piston rings as a set.
NOTE:
@
Before measuring the piston ring side clear-
ance, eliminate any carbon deposits from the
piston ring grooves and piston rings.
Piston ring side clearance
Top ring
0.03 ~ 0.07 mm
(0.0012 ~ 0.0028 in)
<Limit>: 0.12 mm (0.0047 in)
2nd ring
0.02 ~ 0.06 mm
(0.0008 ~ 0.0024 in)
<Limit>: 0.12 mm (0.0047 in)
