K. PISTON AND PISTON RINGS
1. Remove carbon deposits, if any, from the
piston.
2. Clean piston and piston rings using appropriate
cleansing agent.
NOTE
 The piston and piston rings can be reused if
the bore taper and sphericity is within the
specified limits.
 Carefully examine the piston rings for
cracks, scoring, ring groove/ clip groove
wear, piston pin bore wear.
 In case anyone piston is found to have any
one of the above defects, replace the
complete piston set.
3. Check for lateral clearance in piston ring
groove.
4. Check for butt clearance in cylinder bore.
5. Check for piston pin dimensions.
Details Specification (mm)
Piston pin diameter 27 -0.005
Piston pin length 62 -0.3
Piston pin bore in piston 27.007-27.013
Height of piston 66.9
Piston to bore clearance 0.06 - 0.08
Maximum permissible
difference in weights in
each set for 4 pistons

NOTE
 Butt clearance of piston ring is measured in
unworn portion of the cylinder bore.
 Piston and piston rings of appropriate size
should be used, if cylinder bores are re-
bored.
 If piston ring is found to be defective as
stated above, then complete ring set should
be replaced.
