Measure the piston pin bore when the piston temperature
is at 21°C [70°F] in two places 90 degrees apart.
Piston Pin Bore
mm in
63.504 MIN 2.500
63.530 MAX 2.5012
NOTE: Add 0.013 mm [0.0005-inch] to the bore inside di-
ameter per 5°C [10°F] temperature rise up to 32°C [90°F].
Visually inspect the piston pin for scratches, grooves, or
other damage. Do not reuse if visually unacceptable.
Measure the piston pin outside diameter at both ends as
shown in two places 90 degrees apart.
Piston Pin Outside Diameter
mm in
63.4848 MIN 2.4994
63.4997 MAX 2.4999
NOTE: Discard the piston pin if it is more than 0.03 mm
[0.001-inch] out of round. If piston pin measurements exceed
those in the table, do not reuse. If the piston pin is unac-
ceptable for reuse, do not use the matching piston. Cum-
mins recommends replacing pistons and pins in sets.
