PISTON INSPECTION


id011000502100

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.
