Cylinder Block

Inspection of Pistons, Piston Rings and
Wrist Pin

Notes:

• On an engine with low hours, the pistons,

piston rings may be reused if they are found to
be within specifications. The pistons and piston
rings must be reinstalled in the same cylinders
from which they were originally removed.

• On an engine with high hours, the pistons rings

should be replaced and the cylinder honed
(See Honing and Boring on page 6-53) or
replaced. The piston should be replaced as
necessary.

1. Clean piston ring grooves using a piston ring

groove cleaning tool. Follow manufacturer’s
instructions for correct operation.

2. Wash the pistons in an appropriate solvent

using a soft brush.

3. Visually inspect each piston for cracks. Pay

particular attention to the ring lands between
the piston ring grooves.

4. Measure the diameter of the piston skirt at 90°

to the wrist pin bore as shown (Figure 6-64).
Measurements must be taken at a specified
distance (Figure 6-64, (1)) from the bottom of
the piston, based on engine model. Record the
measurements. See Piston on page 6-10 for
specifications.

Figure 6-64

5. Subtract the piston measurement from the

greatest measurement acquired during cylinder
inspection (see Inspection of Cylinder Block on
page 6-47)
to obtain piston-to-cylinder
clearance. Record the measurements. See
Piston on page 6-10 f
or specifications.

6. Measure the diameter of the wrist pin bore on

both sides of the piston (Figure 6-65). See
Piston on page 6-10 f
or specifications. Record
the measurements.

Figure 6-65

7. Measure the outside diameter of the wrist pin in

three places and at 9(Figure 6-66). See
Piston on page 6-10 f
or specifications. Record
the measurements.

8. Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of

each piston ring. See Piston Ring on page 6-11
for specifications. Record the measurements.

Notes:

• On an engine with low hours, the pistons,

piston rings and cylinders may be reused if they
are found to be within specifications.
