PISTON INSPECTION

Caution
-
• If the piston is replaced, replace the piston, piston pin, and the snap ring as a single component.
1. Measure the piston outer diameter using the micrometer. Perform the inspection at the following location.
-
• Vehicles with IDEVA:
10.4 mm {0.409 in} from the lower end of the piston (area with no coating on piston skirt)
Vehicles without IDEVA: 14.828 mm {0.584 in} from the lower end of the piston (area with no coating on piston skirt)
-
― If it is not within the specification, replace the piston.
-
Standard piston outer diameter
-
85.958—85.984 mm {3.3842—3.3851 in}
2. Measure the cylinder bore diameter. (See CYLINDER BLOCK INSPECTION.)
3. Calculate the cylinder-to-piston clearance from the cylinder bore diameter and the piston outer diameter.
-
• If the clearance exceeds the maximum specification, replace the piston or cylinder block.
-
Standard clearance between piston and cylinder
-
0.031—0.049 mm {0.0013—0.0019 in}
-
Maximum clearance between piston and cylinder
-
0.067 mm {0.0026 in}
4. Measure the piston-to-ring groove clearance along the perimeter using a feeler gauge. For the O-ring, measure the clearance with the O-ring assembled to the piston.
-
• If the clearance exceeds the maximum specification, replace the piston or piston ring.
