Measuring the piston diameter is by using outside micrometer. Initially, calibrate the micrometer to the zero reference. Then measure the outside diameter piston as shown in the figure 40 mm or more below the surface (top) of the piston at the thrust surface which perpendicular to the center line of the piston pin.
Read the measurement of the micrometer and compare the measurement with the engine mechanical specification from the service manual. For example, Campro Engine Piston Diameter is 75.975mm. Replace the piston if dimensions are out of specifications. Normally the dimension of piston will be small from the engine mechanical specifications.
