Cylinder Inspection

Refer to "Engine Top Side Disassembly".

Refer to "Engine Top Side Assembly".

Cylinder Distortion

Check the gasket surface of the cylinder for distortion.

Use a straightedge and thickness gauge. Take clearance readings at several places. If any reading exceeds the service limit, replace the cylinder.

Special tool : 09900-20803 (Thickness gauge)

Cylinder distortion
Service limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 in)

Engine Mechanical

Cylinder Bore

Special tool (A): 09900-20508 (Cylinder gauge set)

Cylinder bore
Standard: 81.000 - 81.015 mm (3.1890 - 3.1896 in)

Piston-to-cylinder Clearance

Refer to "Piston and Related Parts Inspection".

Piston Ring Removal and Installation

Removal

1) Draw out the piston pin and remove the piston. Refer to "Engine Top Side Disassembly".

2) Carefully spread the ring opening with your thumbs and then push up the opposite side of the 1st ring (1) to remove it.

NOTE Do not expand the piston ring excessively since it is apt to be broken down.

Engine Mechanical

3) Remove the 2nd ring and oil ring in the same procedures.

Installation

NOTE

1) Install the piston rings in the order of the oil ring, second ring and top ring.

a) The first member to go into the of the oil ring groove is a spacer (1).

After placing the spacer, fit the two side rails (2).

Engine Mechanical

! CAUTION When installing the spacer, be careful so that the both edges are not overlapped.

Engine Mechanical

  1. INCORRECT
  2. CORRECT

b) Install the 2nd ring (3) and 1st ring (4) to piston.

NOTE 1st ring (4) and 2nd ring (3) differ in shape.

Engine Mechanical

NOTE Face the side with the stamped mark "A" upward when assembling.

Engine Mechanical

2) Position the gaps of the three rings and side rails as shown. Before inserting piston into the cylinder, check that the gaps are so located.

Engine Mechanical

  1. 1st ring and upper side rail
  2. Spacer
  3. 2nd ring and lower side rail

3) Install the piston and piston pin. Refer to "Engine Top Side Assembly".

Piston and Related Parts Inspection

Refer to "Engine Top Side Disassembly ".

Piston Diameter

Measure the piston diameter using the micrometer at 15 mm (0.6 in) from the skirt end. If the piston diameter is less than the service limit, replace the piston.

Special tool (A): 09900-20204 (Micrometer (75 - 100 mm) )

Piston diameter
Service limit: 80.880 mm (3.1842 in)

Engine Mechanical

Piston-to-Cylinder Clearance

Subtract the piston diameter from the cylinder bore diameter. If the piston-to-cylinder clearance exceeds the service limit, replace both the cylinder and the piston.

Piston-to-cylinder clearance
Service limit: 0.12 mm (0.0047 in)

Piston Ring-to-Groove Clearance

Measure the side clearances of the 1st and 2nd piston rings using the thickness gauge. If any of the clearances exceed the limit, replace both the piston and piston rings.

Special tool
(A): 09900-20803 (Thickness gauge)
(B): 09900-20205 (Micrometer (0 - 25 mm) )

Piston ring-to-groove clearance
Service limit: (1st): 0.18 mm (0.007 in)
Service limit: (2nd): 0.15 mm (0.006 in)

Piston ring groove width
Standard: (1st): 1.21 - 1.23 mm (0.0476 - 0.0484 in)
Standard: (2nd): 1.01 - 1.03 mm (0.0398 - 0.0406 in)
Standard: (Oil): 2.01 - 2.03 mm (0.0791 - 0.0799 in)

Piston ring thickness
Standard: (1st): 1.17 - 1.19 mm (0.0461 - 0.0469 in)
Standard: (2nd): 0.97 - 0.99 mm (0.0382 - 0.0396 in)

Engine Mechanical

Piston Ring Free End Gap and Piston Ring End Gap

Measure the piston ring free end gap using vernier calipers. Next, fit the piston ring squarely into the cylinder and measure the piston ring end gap using the thickness gauge. If any of the measurements exceed the service limit, replace the piston ring with a new one.

Special tool (A): 09900-20102 (Vernier calipers)

Piston ring free end gap
Service limit: (1st): 6.0 mm (0.24 in)
Service limit: (2nd): 9.2 mm (0.36 in)

Special tool (B): 09900-20803 (Thickness gauge)

Piston ring end gap
Service limit: (1st): 0.5 mm (0.020 in)
Service limit: (2nd): 0.5 mm (0.020 in)

Engine Mechanical

Piston Pin and Pin Bore

Measure the piston pin bore inside diameter using the small bore gauge. If either is out of specification or the difference between these measurement is more than the limits, replace the piston.

Special tool
(A): 09900-20602 (Dial gauge (1/1000 mm, 1 mm) )
(B): 09900-22403 (Small bore gauge (18 - 35 mm) )

Piston pin bore I.D.
Service limit: 20.030 mm (0.7886 in)

Engine Mechanical

Measure the piston pin outside diameter at three positions using the micrometer. If any of the measurements are out of specification, replace the piston pin.

Special tool (C): 09900-20205 (Micrometer (0 - 25 mm) )

Piston pin O.D.
Service limit: 19.980 mm (0.7866 in)
