CAUTION
Do not use crocus cloth on bushing side of pin. Bushing side requires a polished finish.
(4) Use crocus cloth wet with fuel oil to remove any trace of fretting and/or corrosion on
connecting rod saddle to piston pin contact surface.
d. Inspection
(1) Dome and Skirt
NOTE
Indications of overheating or burned spots may be result of an obstruction in
connecting rod oil passage.
(a)
(b)
(c)
Examine piston skirt and dome
for score marks, cracks, damaged
ring groove lands, loss of tin
plating, or indications of
overheating. Replace any piston
severely scored or overheated.

width with piston groove gage
(18). Slide NO-GO wire (0.106
inch diameter) of tool completely
around fire ring groove. Replace
dome if wire is below flush at any
one area. The GO wire (0.100
inch diameter) should be flush or
protrude slightly from fire ring

Check cylinder liner and block
bore for excessive out of round,
taper, or high spots which could
cause failure of piston (see Para
