Fig. 2: Measuring liner protrusion

For installing cylinder liners and


pistons, it is absolutely essential
to measure the piston protrusion
and liner protrusion based on
manufacturers instructions.

The fitting dimensions of


series OM 500 vary substantially from those of engine series
OM 400. Non-observance may
cause vital damage to the engine.

Recommendation
The specified piston protrusion is normally to be found in
column 7 of the Piston Catalogue
and on our CD ROM.
For measuring, please use the KS
dial gauge bracket 50 009 882
(small) or 50 009 883 (large) as
well as the KS dial gauge
50 009 884.

For further information


on this subject, please refer
to our catalogue "Tools and Testing Instruments".

The piston protrusion "C" is the


distance between piston top edge
at the top dead centre and the
sealing face of the engine block.

The liner protrusion is


measured with the liner in
pre-tensioned condition.

C+

Piston protrusion
specified by manufacturer:
C= 0.27 - 0.61 mm

Liner protrusion
specified by manufacturer:
B= 0.245 - 0.315 mm

In order to eliminate the influence


of the piston gouging play, it is
essential to measure in the direction of the piston pin.

Measure the cylinder liner protrusion at 4 measuring points. The


difference between the individual
values must not exceed 0.02 mm.
