15. R E M O V E P I S TO N A N D C O N N E C T I N G R O D A S-
SEMBLIES
(a) Using a ridge reamer, remove the all carbon from the top of the cylinder.
(b) Push the piston, connecting rod assembly and upper bearing through the top of the cylinder block.
HINT:
Keep the bearings, connecting rod and cap together.
Arrange the piston and connecting rod assemblies in cor-
rect order.
16. CHECK CRANKSHAFT THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying
the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver. Standard thrust clearance:
0.020 − 0.220 mm (0.0008 − 0.0087 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance: 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
thrust washers as a set. Thrust washer thickness:
STD2.440 − 2.490 mm (0.0961 − 0.0980 in.)
O/S 0.1252.503 − 2.553 mm (0.0985 − 0.1005 in.)
O/S 0.2502.565 − 2.615 mm (0.1010 − 0.1030 in.)
17. REMOVE MAIN BEARING CAPS AND CHECK OIL
CLEARANCE

23. DISCONNECT CONNECTING ROD FROM PISTON
(a) Using a small screwdriver, pry out the 2 snap rings.
(b) Gradually heat the piston to 80 − 90°C (176 − 194° F).
(c) Using plastic −faced hammer and brass bar, lightly tap out
the piston pin and remove the connecting rod.
HINT:
The piston and pin are a matched set.
Arrange the pistons, pins, rings, connecting rods and
bearings in correct order.

3. INSPECT BEARING OF OIL PUMP DRIVE SHAFT
GEAR
Check the bearing for pitting and scratches.
If the bearing is damaged, replace the cylinder block.
4. CLEAN PISTON
(a) Using a gasket scraper, remove the carbon from the pis-
ton top.
(b) Using a groove cleaning tool or broken ring, clean the pis-
ton ring grooves.
(c) Using solvent and a brush, thoroughly clean the piston.
NOTICE:
Do not use a wire brush.
5. INSPECT PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD
(a) Inspect the piston oil clearance.
HINT:
There are 3 sizes of the standard piston diameter , marked ”1”,
”2” and ”3”. The mark is stamped on the piston top.

2. REPLACE OVERSIZED (O/S) PISTONS FOR CYLIN-
DER BORING
HINT:
Bore all the 6 cylinders for the O/S piston outside diame-
ter.
Replace all the piston rings with ones to match the O/S
pistons.
(a) Keep 6 new O/S pistons. O/S piston diameter:
O/S 0.50100.450 − 100.480 mm (3.9547 − 3.9559 in.)
O/S 1.00100.950 − 100.980 mm (3.9744 − 3.9756 in.)
(b) Using a micrometer, measure the piston diameter at right
angles to the piston pin center line, 42 mm (1.65 in.) from
the piston head.
(c) Calculate the amount of each cylinder is to be rebored as
follows:
Size to be rebored = P + C − H
P = Piston diameter
C = Piston oil clearance
0.040 − 0.060 mm (0.0016 − 0.0024 in.)
H = Allowance for honing
0.02 mm (0.0008 in.) or less
(d) Bore and hone the cylinders to calculated dimensions. Maximum honing: 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.)
NOTICE:
Excess honing will destroy the finished roundness.
3. REPLACE CRANKSHAFT FRONT OIL SEAL
HINT:
There are 2 methods ((a) and (b)) to replace the oil seal.
(a) If the timing chain cover is removed from the cylinder block:
(1) Using a screwdriver and a hammer, tap out the oilseal.
(2) Using SST and a hammer, tap in a new oil seal until
its surface is flush with the timing chain cover edge.
SST 09316−60011 (09316 −00011, 09316−00051)
(3) Apply MP grease to the oil seal lip.
NOTICE:
Do not let foreign matter get onto the lip of the oil seal.
