Piston - Pin to Bore Diameter

    WARNING: Cover the end of the pin bore with a hand or shop rag when removing the retainer ring, since it has a tendency to spring out. Wear eye protection.
    NOTE: Piston and piston pins are a matched set and should not be interchanged.
    NOTE: Measure the piston pin bore diameter in two directions on each side. Verify the diameter is within specification.
    • If out of specification, install new components as necessary. Refer to ENGINE for the procedure .
