2. CYLINDER AND PISTON
1) The cylinder bore size is stamped on the cylin-
der block's front upper surface.
NOTE:
Standard sized pistons are classified into two
grades, ªAº and ªBº. These grades should be used
as a guide line in selecting a standard piston.
Standard diameter:
A: 99.505 Ð 99.515 mm (3.9175 Ð 3.9179
in)
B: 99.495 Ð 99.505 mm (3.9171 Ð 3.9175
in)
H2M1732A
2) How to measure the inner diameter of each
cylinder
Measure the inner diameter of each cylinder in
both the thrust and piston pin directions at the
heights shown in figure, using a cylinder bore
gauge.
CAUTION:
Measurement should be performed at a tem-
perature 20ÉC (68ÉF).
Taper:
Standard
0.015 mm (0.0006 in)
Limit
0.050 mm (0.0020 in)
Out-of-roundness:
Standard
0.010 mm (0.0004 in)
Limit
0.050 mm (0.0020 in)

3) When piston is to be replaced due to general or
cylinder wear, determine a suitable sized piston by
measuring the piston clearance.

4) How to measure the outer diameter of each
piston
Measure the outer diameter of each piston at the
height shown in figure. (Thrust direction)
CAUTION:
Measurement should be performed at a tem-
perature of 20ÉC (68ÉF).
Piston grade point H:
37.0 mm (1.457 in)
Piston outer diameter:
Standard
A: 99.485 Ð 99.495 mm (3.9167 Ð 3.9171

99.975 Ð 99.985 mm (3.9360 Ð 3.9364 in)
B2M1305A
5) Calculate the clearance between cylinder and
piston.
CAUTION:
Measurement should be performed at a tem-
perature of 20ÉC (68ÉF).
Cylinder to piston clearance at 20ÉC (68ÉF):
Standard
0.010 Ð 0.030 mm (0.0004 Ð 0.0012 in)
Limit
0.050 mm (0.0020 in)
6) Boring and honing
(1) If the value of taper, out-of-roundness, or
cylinder-to-piston clearance measured exceeds
the specified limit or if there is any damage on
the cylinder wall, rebore it to use an oversize
piston.
CAUTION:
When any of the cylinders needs reboring, all
other cylinders must be bored at the same
time, and use oversize pistons. Do not perform
boring on one cylinder only, nor use an over-
size piston for one cylinder only.(2) If the cylinder inner diameter exceeds the
limit after boring and honing, replace the crank-
case.
CAUTION:
Immediately after reboring, the cylinder diam-
eter may differ from its real diameter due to
temperature rise. Thus, pay attention to this
when measuring the cylinder diameter.
Limit of cylinder enlarging (boring):
0.5 mm (0.020 in)
3. PISTON AND PISTON PIN
1) Check pistons and piston pins for damage,
cracks, and wear and the piston ring grooves for
wear and damage. Replace if defective.
2) Measure the piston-to-cylinder clearance at
each cylinder.
<Ref. to 2-3b [W5C2].>
If any of the clearances is not to specification,
replace the piston or bore the cylinder to use an
oversize piston.
3) Make sure that piston pin can be inserted into
the piston pin hole with a thumb at 20ÉC (68ÉF).
Replace if defective.
Standard clearance between piston pin and
hole in piston:
Standard
0.004 Ð 0.010 mm (0.0002 Ð 0.0004 in)
Limit
0.020 mm (0.0008 in)

4) Check circlip installation groove on the piston
for burr. If necessary, remove burr from the groove
so that piston pin can lightly move.
B2M0420A
5) Check piston pin circlip for distortion, cracks
and wear.
4. PISTON RING
1) If piston ring is broken, damaged, or worn, or if
its tension is insufficient, or when the piston is
replaced, replace piston ring with a new one of the
same size as the piston.
CAUTION:
IªRº is marked on the end of the top and sec-
ond rings. When installing the rings to the
piston, face this mark upward.
G2M0623
IThe oil ring is a combined ring consisting of
two rails and a spacer in between. When
installing, be careful to assemble correctly.

2) Squarely place piston ring and oil ring in
cylinder, and measure the piston ring gap with a
thickness gauge.

aligner. Replace connecting rod if the bend or twist
exceeds the limit.

any oil clearance is not within specification, replace
the defective bearing with a new one of standard
size or undersize as necessary. (See the table.)
