Note: Refer to the appropriate Reuse and Salvage Guideline for information on the pistons, the piston pins, and the retaining rings.Note: Lubricate the piston body assembly with clean engine oil around the zone (A) and the top of the piston body assembly prior to assembly into the cylinder block.Top Piston Ring
The 1U-6431 Piston Ring Groove Gauge Gp is used for measuring the ring grooves in keystone style pistons. Refer to the Special Instruction that is supplied with the piston ring groove gauge. (1) Top piston ringInstall the top piston ring with "UP-1" mark toward the top of the piston.There is a clearance between the ends of the top piston ring. When the top piston ring is installed in a cylinder liner with a bore of 137.16 mm (5.400 inch), the clearance is the following value. ... 0.55 0.15 mm (0.022 0.006 inch)There is an increase in the clearance between the ends of the top piston rings for each 0.030 mm (0.0012 inch) increase in the cylinder liner bore. Increase ... 0.08 mm (0.003 inch)Intermediate Piston Ring
The 1U-6431 Piston Ring Groove Gauge Gp is used for measuring the ring grooves in keystone style pistons. Refer to the Special Instruction that is supplied with the piston ring groove gauge. (2) Intermediate piston ringInstall the intermediate piston ring with "UP-2" mark toward the top of the piston.There is a clearance between the ends of the intermediate piston ring. When the piston ring is installed in a cylinder liner with a bore of 137.16 mm (5.400 inch), the clearance is the following value. ... 1.080 0.190 mm (0.0425 0.0075 inch)There is an increase in the clearance between the ends of the piston rings for each 0.030 mm (0.0012 inch) increase in the cylinder liner bore.
