INSPECTION OF PISTON AND PISTON RING
Instructions
Figure: Piston and piston ring
1.
Inspect the piston for cracks and signs of piston seizure.
2.
Inspect the bore of the piston pin for damage and wear.
3.
Inspect the piston pin ring groove for defects.
4.
Check free of movement of the piston ring in the ring groove.
a.
If carbon prevents free movement of the piston ring, the ring groove can be cleaned out
with a discarded piston ring.
5.
Measure the piston ring clearance in the ring groove with a feeler gauge (1).
a.
If the piston ring clearance has reached the wear limit of 0.1 mm, the piston must be
replaced.
6.
Remove the piston ring from the piston, insert it approx. 10 mm from top into the cylinder
(use the piston to do so) and check ring-end gap by means of a feeler gauge.
7.
Check the piston ring locking pin for wear.
