NOTE: After any refinishing operation, allow cylinder bore to cool, and ensure piston and bore are clean and dry before piston fit is checked.

1. Calculate size piston to be used by taking a cylinder bore check. Follow procedures outlined previously.

2. Select proper size piston to provide desired clearance. Measure piston diameter in-line with centerline of piston pin and at 90 degrees to piston pin axis.

3. Ensure piston and cylinder block are at room temperature, 21°C (70°F).
