Fig. 3  Checking piston diameter
-  Measure approx. 10 mm (3/8 in.) from bottom edge, at points offset by 
90  from piston pin axis.    Deviation from nominal size: max. 0.04 mm (0.0016 in.)
    
Special tools and equipment  
Inner bore gauge 50-100 mm (2-4 in.)  
CAUTION! 
DO NOT have the cylinder block mounted to the assembly stand 
while measuring the cylinder bores. The block is deformed by its 
own weight under these conditions and this stress will result in false 
measurements that are not accurate after the tension has been 
relieved.  Fig. 4  Checking cylinder bore
-  Measure at three locations diagonally in crosswise direction -A- and 
lengthwise direction -B-. 
   Deviation from nominal size: max. 0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
