Piston and rod

(1) Piston crown assembly
(5) Piston skirt

Thoroughly lubricate the outer surface of the entire piston and the piston rings with clean engine oil before
installation in the cylinder block.
(2) Top piston ring
Install the piston ring with the side marked "UP-1" toward the top of the piston. The red color stripe must be
to the right of the ring end gap.
When the piston ring is installed in a cylinder liner that has a bore size of 137.16 mm (5.400 inch), the
clearance between the ends of the piston ring is the following value. ... 0.35 0.05 mm (0.014 0.002
inch)
(3) Intermediate piston ring
Install the piston ring with the side marked "UP-2" toward the top of the piston. The yellow color strip must
be to the right of the ring end gap.
When the piston ring is installed in a cylinder liner that has a bore size of 137.16 mm (5.400 inch), the
clearance between the ends of the piston ring is the following value. ... 0.70 0.10 mm (0.028 0.004
inch)
Width of the groove in a new piston for the piston ring ... 3.070 0.010 mm (0.1209 0.0004 inch)
Thickness of the new piston ring ... 3.005 0.015 mm (0.1183 0.0006 inch)
(4) Oil control ring
The spring ends of the piston ring should be assembled 180 from the ring end gap. The blue color stripe can
be to the right or to the left of the ring end gap.
Width of the groove in a new piston for the piston ring ... 4.03 0.01 mm (0.159 0.001 inch)
Thickness of the new piston ring ... 3.98 0.01 mm (0.157 0.001 inch)
Clearance between the groove and the new piston ring ... 0.05 0 .02 mm (0.002 0.001 inch)
Maximum permissible clearance between the groove and the piston ring after use ... 0.15 mm (0.006
inch)
When the piston ring is installed in a cylinder liner that has a bore size of 137.16 mm (5.400 inch), the
clearance between the ends of the piston ring is the following value. ... 0.45 0.15 mm (0.018 0.006
inch)
For each 0.03 mm (0.001 inch) increase in the cylinder liner bore size, the clearance between the ends of the
piston ring increases by 0.08 mm (0.003 inch).
Note:
The rings should be positioned onto the piston with the gaps of the rings approximately 120 degrees from
each other.
(6) Piston pin
Diameter of new piston pin ... 59.975 0.005 mm (2.3612 0.0002 inch)
Length of the piston pin ... 89.80 0.15 mm (3.535 0.006 inch)
Bore in the body of the piston for the piston pin ... 60.0925 0.0075 mm (2.36580 0.00030 inch)
Note: Thoroughly lubricate the piston pin with clean engine oil prior to assembly.
