INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Use the standard type spark plug for normal condition.
CAUTION:
 Never drop or impact spark plug.
 Never use a wire brush for cleaning.
 If plug tip is covered with carbon, use spark plug cleaner to clean.
 Measure spark plug gap. When it exceeds the limit, replace spark plug even if it is within the speci-
fied replacement mileage. Refer to EM-132, "
Spark Plug".
 Spark plug gap adjustment is not required between replace-
ment intervals.

HOW TO SELECT PISTON AND BEARING
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006289585
 The identification grade stamped on each part is the
grade for the dimension measured in new condition.
This grade cannot apply to reused parts.
 For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimens ion accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the
measurement with the values of each selection table.
 For details of the measurement method of each part , the reuse standards and the selection method of the
selective fitting parts, refer to the text.
PistonINFOID:0000000006289586
WHEN NEW CYLINDER BLOCK IS USED
Check the cylinder bore grade on the bottom face of the cylinder
block, and select the piston of the same grade.
NOTE:
Piston is available with piston pin as a set for the service part.
WHEN NEW CYLINDER BLOCK IS REUSED
1. Measure the cylinder bore inner diameter. Refer to EM-137, "CylinderBlock".
