(101.700-101.713 mm)If a piston (8) type shown in Table 3-1 will allow cylinder bore (18) clearance of0.0035-0.0045 in.(0.089-0.1 14 mm)for 6 front pistons and 0.004-0.0050 in.(O. 112-0,127 mm) for 2 rear pistons, use that size piston for installation. It maybe necessary tomachine cylinder bore to obtain proper clearance for larger size piston.NOTE• If it was determined in steps 9 and 10 that a “standard” piston will beused, perform steps 11-14. If an “oversize” piston will be used, useappropriate oversize piston rings for installation.• If cylinders are found to exceed specifications, It may be necessary tomachine cylinder bore to obtain proper clearance for larger size piston.11.Place upper compression ring (12) into cylinder bore (18) and press down about 0.25 in,(6.5 mm) into cylinder bore. Ensure that upper compression ring is square to wall of cylinderbore. Using feeler gage (19), measure gap between ends of upper compression ring.C h a n g e 2 3 - 4 1
