Fitting Pistons
1) Measure cylinder bore at 3 places for out-of-round and
taper. If out-of-round or taper exceeds .0007" (.019 mm), rebore
cylinder for oversize pistons. See CYLINDER BORE DIAMETERS table.
2) Insert piston in cylinder. Using a feeler gauge, determine
piston-to-cylinder bore clearance. Clearance should be .0009-.0020" (.
023-.051 mm). Maximum clearance is .006" (.15 mm). If clearance
exceeds maximum specification, rebore cylinder, and install oversize
piston. See PISTON DIAMETERS table.

Piston Rings
1) Measure piston ring end gap. Use head of piston to push
ring squarely into bore. Leave ring at bottom of ring travel. Using a
feeler gauge, measure piston ring end gap. Compare measurement with
specification. See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS table under ENGINE
SPECIFICATIONS.
2) Install rings on piston with "R" facing upward. Note 2nd
compression ring outer edge is slightly chamfered. Using a feeler
gauge, measure ring side clearance between ring and ring land. If ring
lands are excessively worn, replace piston. Properly space ring end
gaps on piston. See Fig. 11. Ensure end gaps do not align with piston
pin or thrust face of piston.
Main & Rod Bearings
1) Remove main bearing cap bolts in sequence. See Fig. 12.
Remove main bearing caps and main bearings. Remove connecting rod caps
and rod bearings. Clean connecting rod journal and bearing halves with
a clean shop towel. Check connecting rod bearing oil clearance using
Plastigage method.
