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.
CC127D
2. Measure the corresponding piston diameter at the
recommended point above the piston skirt at a right
angle to the piston-pin bore. Subtract this measure-
ment from the largest measurement in step 1. The
difference (clearance) must not exceed specifica-
tions.
Installing Piston Rings
1. Install the oil expander (spacer) making sure the
open end is positioned 90° away from the directional
arrow as indicated. Install the lower oil control
(lower rail) ring at 0° from the directional arrow;
then position the opening of the upper oil control
(upper rail) ring 180° away from the piston direc-
tional arrow.
NOTE: Note the direction of the exhaust side of the
piston (◄) marking for correct ring end gap orienta-
tion.

2. Install the second compression ring with the marking
“RN” directed toward the top of the piston. Orientate
the opening of the ring at 0° from the piston direc-
tional arrow.
H1-052
3. Install the first compression ring with the marking
“R” directed toward the top of the piston; then rotate
the ring so the ring gap is 180° away from the piston
directional arrow.

CYLINDER/CYLINDER HEAD
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: If the cylinder/cylinder head cannot be
trued, they must be replaced as an assembly.
CAUTION
Incorrect installation of the piston rings will result in
engine damage.
