Do not refinish highly polished or lappedpiston pin surface.14. Piston pin a.Inspect for scoring, fretting, pitting, or indications of overheating. If damaged,replace piston pin.b.Measure for wear and check alinement. Measure alinement with beveled steelstraightedge. This measurement will also indicate relative wear along the piston pin.Measure diameter of piston pin with micrometer at several points along the length ofthe pin. The diameter should be 1.3777 to 1.3780 inches (34.994 to 35.0 mm). Thediameter should not be greater than 1.3780 inches (35.0 mm) under normalconditions. However, if it is, replace piston pin and recheck piston boremeasurements. Replace piston if necessary. If piston pin is worn and any diametermeasurements are less than 1.3777 inches (34.994 mm), replace piston pin.NOTE:MEASURE DIAMETER AT SEVERALPOINTS ALONG LENGTH OF PIN.6-114
