Engine Block and Piston Inspection

  1. Calculate the difference between the cylinder bore diameter and the piston diameter. If the clearance is near or exceeds the service limit, inspect the piston and engine block for excessive wear.

    Standard (New):
    0.018−0.043 mm (0.0007−0.0017 in.)
    Service Limit:
    0.05 mm (0.002 in.)
