_ P directions. See the Specifications for the dimen- - sions concerned. Re-boring the _yIinders The cylinders are re-bored in a special maçhine, after which they are honed in order fo obtain a good surface finish. The complete cylinder block should be washed in a degreasing tank before being assembled in order to remove all grinding residue and impurities. See the Specifications for the dimensions concer- ned, See also the teKt under the heading ''Fit of pistons in cylinders''. . _- ' _,,_,o ' _ Fig. 46.

The fit of the pistons in their respecfive cylinders is tested w_ithout the piston rings fitted. The clear- anCe at right-angles to the gudgeon pin hole is measured with a feeler gauge ','_'' wide and O.O3 mm (O,OO12'') thick attached to a spring-balance. The force applied should be 1 kg (2.2 Ib.). This gives the average value for piston clearance. _ When the above-mentioned force is applied. the P_Ston ClearanC0 obtained is equal to the thickness of the feeler gauge used. FeeIer gauges which are O.O2 mm (O.OOO8'') or O.O4 mm (O.OO16'') thick can therefore also be used. The test is carried out _ at several different depths, see Fig. 47. ' ' Standard bore cylinders have a letter stamped _ on showing the dimensions, and the piston concer- _ , ned should be marked with the same letter.
