Fitting Pistons Isuzu VehiCross I

1. Determine if piston-to-cylinder clearance is within specification. See «PISTONS, PINS & RINGS»(ref-8464-S17293426552000083100000) table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Measure piston skirt diameter at a 90-degree angle to piston pin 1.69" (43.0 mm) from top of piston. Different piston sizes are used. Piston size can be identified by letter (size mark) stamped on top of piston. (Scheme 6)
2. Size mark on piston is a letter corresponding to piston diameter. Ensure piston diameter is within specification. See «PISTONS, PINS & RINGS»(ref-8464-S17293426552000083100000) table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
3. Check cylinder bore to determine piston-to-cylinder clearance. Clearance should be within specification. See «PISTONS, PIN & RINGS»(ref-8464-S17293426552000083100000) table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
