Checking the cylinder and piston


NOTE:

Measure cylinder bore "C" by taking side-to-side and front-to-back measurements of the cylinder.

Then, find the average of the measurements.


b. If out of specification, replace the cylinder, and replace the piston and piston rings as a set.

c. Measure piston skirt diameter D "a" with the micrometer.
