3. With a micrometer or caliper at a right angle to the piston pin<br />

bore, meausre the piston 11 mm (0.433 in) from the bottom<br />

of the skirt.<br />

4. Subtract the piston diameter from the cylinder bore diameter<br />

in order to determine piston-to-bore clearance. Refer to<br />

<strong>Engine</strong> Mechanical Specifications.<br />

5. If the proper clearance cannot be obtained, then select<br />

another piston and measure the clearances.<br />

If the proper fit cannot be obtained, the cylinder bore may<br />

require honing or boring.<br />

6. When the piston-to-cylinder bore clearance is within<br />

specifications, permanently mark the top of the piston for<br />

installation into the proper cylinder.<br />
