INSPECTION (Cont)
Since it is sub-
jected to down-
ward loading only,
free movement of
the piston pin is
desired to secure
perfect alignment
and uniform wear.
Therefore, the
piston pin is as-
embled with a
full floating fit
in the connecting
rod and piston
bushings, with
relatively large
clearances. Worn
piston pin clear-
ances up to .010
inch (.025 cm)
are satisfactory.
