Piston
If a used piston is to remain in service then the following should be
checked:
1. Piston running surface: Check for pressure marks (seizing marks) minor
friction marks can be removed with a fine abrasive stick.
2. Piston ring grooves: The piston rings must not get jammed in the
grooves. For cleaning the grooves, use an old piston ring or abrasive
paper (grain size 400).
3. The piston ring locating pins must be firmly seated in the piston and
must not be worn out.
4. Check piston rings for wear and check end gap.
Piston ring end gap
– Insert piston ring into the cylinder and adjust. Piston ring must be
approx. 10 mm (1/2 inch) from top of cylinder.
– The end gap
B can now be checked with a feeler gauge.
Piston ring end gap: max. 0.40 mm (0.015 in)
NOTE: If the end gap is greater check piston and cylinder for wear. If
piston and cylinder wear are within the permitted tolerance limits, replace
the piston ring.
