Check of piston fingers and rodsPiston finger Check a piston finger, an opening in the top head of a rod and an opening in the piston for existence of wear or damages, paying special attention to a condition of the plug in the top head of a rod. If the piston finger, an opening in the top head of a rod or in the piston have excessive wear or are damaged, replace a finger, a rod and/or the piston. 
 Gap of a piston finger Check gaps between a piston finger and the plug in the top head of a rod and between a piston finger and an opening in the piston. Replace a rod and/or the piston if its top head is strongly worn-out or has damages or if the measured gap exceeds extreme value.

 | 
 Gap between a piston finger and the plug of the top head of a rod: 0,003–0,014 mm. Piston: 0,006–0,017 mm. Diameter of an opening in the top head of a rod: 20,003–20,011 mm. Diameter of a piston finger: 19,997–20,000 mm. Diameter of an opening under a piston finger: 20,006–20,014 mm. 
 Side gap of the lower head of a rod  
 
|  | Fig. 2.143. Measurement of a gap of the lower head of a rod 
 | 
 Check a side gap of the lower head of a rod, at the same time the rod with inserts has to be established on the corresponding conrod neck. If the measured gap, exceeds extreme value, replace a rod. Nominal rate of a gap: 0,25–0,40 mm. Limit znacheniyezazor: 0,55 mm. 
 Check of a rod 
 
 Fix a rod on an adjusting pin to check it for existence of a bend and twisting. If extreme values are exceeded, replace a rod. 
 Rod geometry Extreme value on a bend: 0,05 mm. Extreme value on twisting: 0,10 mm.
