3. Insert the new pin into the piston and rotate it. If
the pin rotates smoothly with no backlash, the
clearance is normal. If there is backlash o
r
roughness, measure the clearance. If the
clearance exceeds the specified limit, the piston
must be replaced.

use a flaw detector to perform a dye penetrate and
hydraulic (or air pressure) test. If cracking or othe
r
damage is discovered, the cylinder block must
either be repaired or replaced.

accidentally drop into the upper surface of the cylinde
r
block. Be very careful not to scratch the upper surface
of the cylinder block.
