Cylinder and piston<br />

5<br />

Service tips<br />

Defect:<br />

Broken cooling fins, damaged threads or broken screw at<br />

exhaust port.<br />

Seizure marks in the cylinder bore (especially at the exhaust<br />

port).<br />

The surface lining in the cylinder bore is worn (primarily at<br />

the head of the cylinder).<br />

The piston displays seizure scratches.<br />

The piston ring is stucked in its groove.<br />

Procedure:<br />

In severe cases - replace the cylinder.<br />

Repair the thread with Heli-Coil.<br />

Rub the damaged part with fine emery cloth to remove<br />

adhered aluminium.<br />

With deeper seizure scratches the cylinder and piston should<br />

be replaced.<br />

Replace cylinder and piston.<br />

Rub the damaged part carefully with a fine file or emery cloth.<br />

Before the piston is fitted the cylinder should be rubbed as<br />

above. With deeper scratches the piston and where necessary<br />

also the cylinder should be replaced.<br />

Carefully loosen the piston ring and clean the groove very<br />

carefully before assembly. Check the wear on the piston ring<br />

by placing it in the lower part of the cylinder.<br />

Wear tolerances<br />

Cylinder bore<br />

Piston ring gap<br />

Piston ring groove<br />

Piston ring play<br />

The surface finish is worn away<br />

revealing the aluminium.<br />

Max. 1.0 mm (0.04") with the piston<br />

ring pushed into the lower part of<br />

the cylinder.<br />

Max. 1.6 mm (0.<strong>06</strong>"). Clean the<br />

groove carefully before checking the<br />

mea-surement.<br />

Max. 0.15 mm (0.0<strong>06</strong>"). Clean the<br />

Assembly<br />

All models<br />

Before fitting the piston and cylinder see<br />

the section ”Cleaning, inspection” and<br />

”Analysis and procedures”.<br />

Lubricate the piston bolt’s needle bearing<br />

with a few drops of engine oil.<br />

Align the arrow on the piston top with the<br />

exhaust port.<br />

Press in the piston bolt by means of the<br />

mandrel 505 38 17-05 and fit the circlips<br />

by means of a pair of flat pliers. Check<br />

that they sit correctly in their grooves by<br />

turning them with the pliers.<br />
