2. Insert an inside dial indicator into the piston-pin
bore. The diameter must not exceed specifications.
Take two measurements to ensure accuracy.

Measuring Piston Skirt/Cylinder
Clearance
1. Measure the cylinder front to back in six places.

2. Measure the corresponding piston diameter at the rec-
ommended point above the piston skirt at a right angle
to the piston-pin bore. Subtract this measurement from
the largest measurement in step 1. The difference
(clearance) must not exceed specifications.
Installing Piston Rings
1. Install ring expander (4) in the bottom groove of the
piston; then install the thin oil rings (3) over the
expander making sure the expander ends do not
overlap. Stagger the end gaps of the upper and lower
thin oil rings according to the illustration.
ATV-1085B
NOTE: Note the direction of the exhaust side of the
piston (5) for correct ring end gap orientation.
2. The ring with the orientation mark (MTOP or TOP)
should be installed in the second (middle) groove
and the ring with the orientation mark (M or O)
should be installed in the first (top) groove.

CYLINDER/CYLINDER HEAD
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: If the cylinder/cylinder head cannot be
trued, they must be replaced as an assembly.
Cleaning/Inspecting Cylinder Head
1. Using a non-metallic carbon removal tool, remove
any carbon buildup from the combustion chamber
being careful not to nick, scrape, or damage the com-
bustion chamber or the sealing surface.
2. Inspect the spark plug hole for any damaged threads.
Repair damaged threads using a “heli-coil” insert.
CAUTION
Incorrect installation of the piston rings will result in
engine damage.
CAUTION
The cylinder head studs must be removed for this pro-
cedure.
