ENGINE 273 MPFI
Piston :
When replacing the pistons or installing oversize
pistons, be sure that the piston-to-cylinder clearance
remains within specified range
PISTON TOBORECLEARANCE
0.035 to 0.05 mm
Piston-to-cylinder clearance is equal to the bore
diameter minus the piston diameter, which is to be
mean measured bymeasuring at the level of the piston
in the direction transverse to piston pin axis, as shown.
•
Remove piston rings from piston using ring
expander.
•
Remove the carbon deposits from the piston.
•
Clean the piston and piston rings thoroughly In
case the cylinder bore taper and ovality is within
specified limit, then same piston and piston rings
may be reused.
•
Examine the pistons for cracks, scoring, other
damages, ring groove wear, piston pin bore wear,
spring clip groove wear/damage etc.
•
In case of any one piston with any one of this
defect, complete piston set should be replaced.
