Fitting Pistons
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
To determine if piston-to-cylinder clearance is within specification, measure piston skirt diameter .50" (12 mm) from bottom of piston at 90-degree angle to piston pin. Piston diameter must be within specification. See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Cylinder bore measurements should be taken at approximately middle of bore and transverse to engine crankshaft center line. Install pistons with arrow on top of piston pointing toward front of engine.
