PISTONS
4. Calculate:
●
Piston-to-cylinder clearance
Out of specification
→
Replace the
piston, piston rings and cylinder as a
set.
Cylinder and piston combination
Select the appropriate piston to match the
cylinder size by the table as follows.
NOTE:
New cylinder bore size = 80.000 +
a
/1,000
Example:
a
= 12
→
80.012 mm.
