(c) Inspect the piston ring end gap.
(1) Insert the piston ring into the cylinder bore.
(2) Using a piston, push the piston ring a little beyondthe bottom of the ring travel, 125 mm (4.92 in.) from
the top of the cylinder block.
(3) Using a feeler gauge, measure the end gap.
Standard end gap:
No. 10.300 − 0.520 mm (0.0118 − 0.0205 in.)
No. 20.450 − 0.670 mm (0.0177 − 0.0264 in.)
Oil (Side rail)0.150 − 0.520 mm (0.0059 − 0.0205 in.)
Maximum end gap:
No. 11.12 mm (0.0441 in.)
No. 21.17 mm (0.0461 in.)
Oil (Side rail)1.12 mm (0.0441 in.)
If the end gap is greater than maximum, replace the piston ring.
If the end gap is greater than maximum, even with a new piston
ring, rebore all the 6 cylinders or replace the cylinder block.
(d) Inspect the piston pin fit.
At 80 − 90°C (176 − 194°F), you should be able to push
the piston pin into the piston pin hole with your thumb.
(e) Using a rod aligner and feeler gauge, check the connect- ing rod alignment.
(1) Check for out−of−alignment.
Maximum out−of−alignment:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.) per 100 mm (3.94 in.)
If out− of−alignment is greater than maximum, replace the con-
necting rod assembly.

(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.)

HINT:
If the location of this area cannot be judged by visual inspection,
measure the outer diameter at the location shown in the illustra-
tion.
If the outside diameter is less than minimum, replace the con-
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.
Maximum circle runout: 0.06 mm (0.0024 in.)
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.
Main journal diameter:
STD68.982 − 69.000 mm (2.7158 − 2.7165 in.)
U/S 0.2568.745 − 68.755 mm (2.7065 − 2.7069 in.)
Crank pin diameter:
STD56.982 − 57.000 mm (2.2434 − 2.2441 in.)
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
AND/OR CRANK PINS
Grind and hone the main journals and/or crank pins to the fin-
ished undersized diameter. Install new main journal and/or
crankshaft pin undersized bearings.
