Using a cylinder gauge, measure the cylinder bore diame-
ter at positions A, B and C in the thrust and axial direc-
tions.
Standard diameter:
STD
Mark ”1”100.000 − 100.010 mm (3.9370 − 3.9374 in.)
Mark ”2”100.010 − 100.020 mm (3.9374 − 3.9378 in.)
Mark ”3”100.020 − 100.030 mm (3.9378 − 3.9382 in.)
Maximum diameter:
STD100.23 mm (3.9461 in.)
O/S 0.50100.73 mm (3.9658 in.)
O/S 1.00101.23 mm (3.9854 in.)
If the diameter is greater than maximum, rebore all the 6 cylin-
ders. If necessary, replace the cylinder block.
(d) Remove the cylinder ridge.
If the wear is less than 0.2 mm (0.008 in.), using a ridge reamer,
grind the top of the cylinder.
(e) Inspect the main bearing cap bolts.
Using vernier calipers, measure the thread outside diam-
eter of the bolt.
Standard outside diameter:
10.85 − 11.00 mm (0.4271 − 0.4331 in.)
Minimum outside diameter: 10.6 mm (0.417 in.)
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the bolt.

(2) Check for twist
Maximum twist:
0.15 mm (0.0059 in. ) per 100 mm (3.94 in.)
If twist is greater than maximum, replace the connecting rod as-
sembly.
(f) Inspect the piston pin oil clearance. (1) Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter
of the connecting rod bushing.
Bushing inside diameter:
26.008 − 26.020 mm (1.0239 − 1.0244 in.)
(2) Using a micrometer, measure the piston pin diame-
ter.
Piston pin diameter:
26.000 − 26.012 mm (1.0236 − 1.0241 in.)
(3) Subtract the piston pin diameter measurement from
the bushing inside diameter measurement.
Standard oil clearance:
0.004 − 0.012 mm (0.0002 − 0.0005 in.)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the bush-
ing. If necessary, replace the piston and piston pin as a set (See
page EM−99 ).
(g) Inspect the connecting rod bolts. Install the cap nut to the connecting rod bolt. Check that
the cap nut can be turned easily by hand to the end of the
thread.
If the cap nut cannot be turned easily, measure the outside di-
ameter of the connecting rod bolt with vernier calipers. Standard outside diameter:
8.40 − 8.60 mm (0.3307 − 0.3386 in.)
Minimum outside diameter: 8.00 mm (0.3150 in.)

necting rod bolt and nut as a set.
6. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT
(a) Inspect for circle runout. (1) Place the crankshaft on V−blocks.
(2) Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout atthe center journal.

If the circle runout is greater than maximum, replace the crank-
shaft.
(b) Inspect the main journals and crank pins. (1) Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of each
main journal and crank pin.

U/S 0.2556.745 − 56.755 mm (2.2341 − 2.2344 in.)
If the diameter is not as specified, check the oil clearance (See
page EM−83 ). If necessary, grind or replace the crankshaft.
(2) Check each main journal and crank pin for taper and out−of−round as shown.
Maximum taper and out−of−round:
0.02 mm (0.0008 in.)
If the taper and out −of− round is greater than maximum, replace
the crankshaft.
7. IF NECESSARY, GRIND AND HONE MAIN JOURNALS
