INSPECTION
1. PISTON RINGS
(1) Check the piston ring side clearance. If the clearance
exceeds the specified limit, replace the ring or piston,
or both.
Standard values:
No. 1 ring: 0.03 - 0.07 mm
No. 2 ring: 0.02 - 0.06 mm
Limits:
No. 1 ring: 0.1 mm
No. 2 ring: 0.1 mm
(2) Insert the piston ring into the cylinder bore and push
it down with a piston. Ensure that the piston’s crown
is in contact with the ring such that the ring is at 90_
to the cylinder wall. Then, measure the end gap with
a thickness gauge. If the gap is too large, replace the
piston ring.
