A: Piston diameter as measured
B: Piston - to - bore clearance (standard value)
C: Honing allowance 0.02 mm (0.0008 in)

3. Cut the cylinder bores.

NOTE:
^ When any cylinder needs boring, all other cylinders must also be bored.
^ Do not cut too much out of cylinder bore at one time. Cut only 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or so in diameter at a time.

4. Hone cylinders to obtain the specified piston-to-bore clearance.
