Piston diameter

Measured at right angles to gudgeon pin and:
- Mahle: 16 mm above lower edge
- Schmidt: 26 mm above lower edge

N.B.
Pistons of different makes must not be fitted in
the same engine.

Classification of pistons and cylinder bo-
res

The piston classification code is stamped on the
crown of the piston. The codes for servicing are:

AB
B
Cc

The cylinder classification code is punched on
the block adjacent to each cylinder.

Cylinders are either class A or B. Both classes
may occur in the same block,
