CYLINDER AND PISTON
3. Measure:
• ring end gap
Out of specification
→
Replace.
NOTE:
You cannot measure the end gap on the
expander spacer of the oil control ring. If the oil
control ring rails show excessive gap, replace
all three rings.
CHECKING THE PISTON PIN
1. Check:
• piston pin
Blue discoloration/grooves
→
Replace, then
check the lubrication system.
2. Measure:
• piston pin-to-piston clearance
