(b) Using a micrometer, measure the piston pin diameter.
Piston pin diameter:21.997 ± 22.009 mm (0.8660 ± 0.8665 in.)
(c) Subtract the piston pin diameter measurement from thebushing inside diameter measurement.
Standard oil clearance:
0.005 ± 0.011 mm (0.0002 ± 0.0004 in.)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the

C. If necessary, replace connecting rod bushing
(a) Using SST and a press, press out the bushing.SST 09222±30010
(b) Align the oil holes of a new bushing and the connecting rod.
(c) Using SST and a press, press out the bushing SST 09222±30010
(d) Using a pin hole grinder, hone the bushing to obtain the standard specified clearance (see step B above) between
the bushing and piston pin.
(e) Check the piston pin fit at normal room temperature. Coat the piston pin with engine oil, and push it into the con-
necting rod with your thumb.
D. Inspect connecting rod bolts Using a vernier caliper, measure the tension portion of of the
connecting rod bolt.
Standard diameter:
7.200 ± 7.300 mm (0.2835 ± 0.2874 in.)
Maximum diameter: 7.00 mm (0.2756 in.)

1. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT FOR CIRCLE RUNOUT
(a) Place the crankshaft on V±blocks.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout at the centerjournal.
Maximum circle runout:
0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
If the circle runout is greater than maximum, replace the
crankshaft.
