Took apart my engine not knowing any details from the previous owner. No odometer, no idea on miles, but leaking oil like crazy. Looking at the manual, I took measurements using a bore gauge at three different depths. Here are my numbers:
min bore: 75.27(L) and 75.25(R)
max piston: 75.24(L) and 75.23(R)
clearance: 0.03(L) and 0.02(R)
My pistons are stamped 0.25 which means they are Oversize 1. Since the documentation says a standard piston wear limit is 75.1, does that mean oversize 1 wear limit should be 75.35? If so, I think I'm good on wear. Where would I need to be to have to move to oversize 2 (0.50)?
Here are all my measurements:
top: 75.29L 75.29L, 75.25R 75.26R
middle: 75.27L 75.30L, 75.28R 75.25R
bottom: 75.28L 75.27L, 75.29R 75.30R
Thanks,
Brent
