CHECKING THE PISTON PIN
1. Check:
• Piston pin
Blue discoloration/grooves
→
Replace the
piston pin, and then check the lubrication sys-
tem.
2. Measure:
• Piston pin outside diameter “a”
Out of specification
→
Replace the piston pin.
3. Measure:
• Piston pin bore diameter “b”
Out of specification
→
Replace the piston.
4. Calculate:
• Piston-pin-to-piston-pin-bore clearance
Out of specification
→
Replace the piston pin
and piston as a set.

CHECKING THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDE
(EXHAUST SIDE)
1. Check:
• Timing chain guide (exhaust side)
Damage/wear
→
Replace.

INSTALLING THE PISTON AND CYLINDER
1. Install:
• Lower oil ring rail “1”
• Oil ring expander “2”
• Upper oil ring rail “3”
• 2nd ring “4”
• Top ring “5”
TIP
Be sure to install the piston rings so that the
manufacturer marks face up.
2. Install:
• Piston “1”
• Piston pin “2”
• Piston pin clips “3”
TIP
• Apply engine oil to the piston pin and connect-
ing rod.
• Make sure the punch mark “a” on the piston
points towards the exhaust side of the cylinder.
• Before installing the piston pin clips, cover the
crankcase opening with a clean rag to prevent
the clips from falling into the crankcase.
