3. Measure:
• Piston ring end gap
Out of specification
→
Replace the piston
ring.
TIP
The oil ring expander spacer end gap cannot be
measured. If the oil ring rail’s gap is excessive,
replace all three piston rings.

CHECKING THE PISTON PINS
The following procedure applies to all of the pis-
ton pins.
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.
