Inspection
PISTON AND PISTON PIN CLEARANCE
1. Measure inner diameter of piston pin hole ªdpº.
Standard diameter ªdpº:
20.993 - 20.999 mm (0.8265 - 0.8267 in)
2. Measure outer diameter of piston pin ªDpº.
Standard diameter ªDpº:
20.989 - 21.001 mm (0.8263 - 0.8268 in)
3. Calculate piston pin clearance.
dp þ Dp = þ0.002 to 0.01 mm (þ0.0001 to 0.0004 in)
If it exceeds the above value, replace piston assembly with
pin.
