1) Check for cracks and damage visually. Especially,
inspect important parts by means of red lead check.
2) Check the oil passages for clogging.
3) Inspect crankcase surface that mates with cylinder
head for warping by using a straight edge, and correct by

Standard sized pistons are classified into two grades,“A”
and“B”. These grades should be used as a guide line in
selecting a standard piston.

Figure, using a cylinder bore gauge.
CAUTION:
Measurement should be performed at a temperature
20°C (68°F).

der 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 the Figure. (Thrust direction)
CAUTION:
Measurement should be performed at a temperature of
20°C (68°F).
Piston outer diameter:
Standard
A: 96.885—96.895 mm (3.8144—3.8148 in)
B: 96.875—96.885 mm (3.8140—3.8144 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 cylin-
der only, nor use an oversize piston for one cylinder
only.
(2) If the cylinder inner diameter exceeds the limit after
boring and honing, replace the crankcase.
CAUTION:
Immediately after reboring, the cylinder diameter may
differ from its real diameter due to temperature rise.
Thus, pay attention to this when measuring the cylin-
der 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 cylin-
der as instructed in 2. CYLINDER AND PISTON [W7C2].
If any of the clearances is not to specification, replace the
piston or bore the cylinder to use an oversize piston.
B2M0083
3) Make sure that piston pin can be inserted into the pis-
ton pin hole with a thumb at 20°C (68°F). Replace if defec-
tive.
Standard clearance between piston pin and hole in
piston:
Standard
0.004—0.010 mm (0.0002—0.0004 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.
5) Check piston pin circlip for distortion, cracks and wear.
G2M0623
4. PISTON RING
1) If piston ring is broken, damaged, or worn, or if its ten-
sion is insufficient, or when the piston is replaced, replace
piston ring with a new one of the same size as the piston.
CAUTION:
“R”is marked on the end of the top and second
rings. When installing the rings to the piston, face this
mark upward.
G2M0624
The oil ring is a combined ring consisting of two
rails and a spacer in between. When installing, be care-
ful to assemble correctly.

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