Piston and cylinder bore dimensions  
Engine codes AHA, ATQ 
Note:  
Replacement pistons are only available in the basic dimension. 
CAUTION! 
DO NOT measure cylinder bore dimensions while the cylinder block 
is mounted on the engine stand. The cylinder block is stressed and 
deformed by its own weight under these conditions and the 
measurements will not be accurate.  -  Measure at three locations diagonally in crosswise direction -A- and 
lengthwise direction -B-.
