tion. Avoid inhalation of fumes and skin contact.
If compound is splashed on skin, flush with
water and wash with alcohol. Alcohol containing
2 to 3 percent camphor is preferred.
b. Inspection.
(1) Piston. Inspect piston for cracks, burned
piston ring lands, and damaged piston
skirt. Thoroughly inspect piston. Fig-
ure 344. (A) Inspect general conditon of
No. 1 and No. 2 compression ring
grooves in piston. Place a 0.1125-inch
diameter pin on each side of piston in
tapered ring groove as shown. Refer
to repair and rebuild standards (par.
292) for wear limits. Measure the dis-
tance between pins using a micrometer.
Measurement should be from 4.2920 for
used piston to 4.3040 for new piston.
Replace piston when measurement is
below 4.2920 or the tapered ring groove
is worn beyond limits specified. (B)
Check condition of the spherical com-
