C	77.150 ~ 77.160mm (3.0374 ~ 3.0378in)

Select the piston related to cylinder bore class.

Piston-to-cylinder clearance :

0.060 ~ 0.080mm (0.0024 ~ 0.0031in)

Oversize pistons should be selected according to the largest bore cylinder.

note

The size of piston is stamped on top of the piston.

Measure the outside diameter of the piston to be used.

According to the measured O.D(Outer Diameter), calculate the new bore size.

New bore size = piston O.D + 0.060 to 0.080mm (0.0024 to 0.0031in) (clearance between piston and cylinder) - 0.01mm (0.0004in) (honing margin.)

Bore each of the cylinders to the calculated size.

caution

To prevent distortion that may result from temperature rise during honing, bore the cylinder holes in the firing order.

Hone the cylinders, finishing them to the proper dimension (piston outside diameter + gap with cylinder).

Check the clearance between the piston and cylinder.

Standard : 0.060 ~ 0.080mm (0.0024 ~ 0.0031in)

note

When boring the cylinders, finish all of the cylinders to the same oversize. Do not bore only one cylinder to the oversize.

Clean the piston.

(1)

Using a gasket scraper, remove the carbon from the piston top.

(2)

Using a groove cleaning tool or broken ring, clean the piston ring grooves.

(3)

Using solvent and a brush, thoroughly clean the piston.

note

Do not use a wire brush.

The standard measurement of the piston outside diameter is taken 10mm (0.39in) from bottom land of the piston.

Standard diameter :

77.130 ~ 77.160mm (3.0366 ~ 3.0377in)

Calculate the difference between the cylinder bore inner diameter and the piston outer diameter.

Piston-to-cylinder clearance :

0.06 ~ 0.08mm (0.0024 ~ 0.0031in)

Inspect the piston ring side clearance.

Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between new piston ring and the wall of ring groove.

Piston ring side clearance

No.1 : 0.09 ~ 0.13mm (0.0035 ~ 0.0051in)

No.2 : 0.08 ~ 0.12mm (0.0031 ~ 0.0047in)

Oil ring : 0.03 ~ 0.07mm (0.0012 ~ 0.0028in)

If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the piston.

Inspect the piston ring end gap.

To measure the piston ring end gap, insert a piston ring into the cylinder bore. Position the ring at right angles to the cylinder wall by gently pressing it down with a piston. Measure the gap with a feeler gauge. If the gap exceeds the service limit, replace the piston rings. If the gap is too large, recheck the cylinder bore inner diameter. If the bore is over the service limit, the cylinder block must be rebored.

Piston ring end gap

No.1 : 0.20 ~ 0.35mm (0.0079 ~ 0.0138in)

No.2 : 0.35 ~ 0.50mm (0.0138 ~ 0.0197in)
