CYLINDER BLOCK DISTORTION AND WEAR
1. Clean upper face of cylinder block.
Use a reliable straightedge and feeler gauge to check the
flatness of cylinder block surface. Check along six positions
shown in figure.
Limit:
0.1 mm (0.004 in)
2. If out of specification, resurface it.
The limit for cylinder block resurfacing is determined by cyl-
inder head resurfacing.
Amount of cylinder head resurfacing is ``A''
Amount of cylinder block resurfacing is ``B''
The maximum limit is as follows:
A+B=0.2mm(0.008 in)
Nominal cylinder block height
from crankshaft center:
246.95 - 247.05 mm (9.7224 - 9.7264 in)
3. If necessary, replace cylinder block.
PISTON-TO-BORE CLEARANCE
1. Using a bore gauge, measure cylinder bore for wear, out-of-
round and taper.

Refer to SDS, EM-91.
Wear limit: 0.2 mm (0.008 in)
Out-of-round (X þ Y) standard: 0.015 mm (0.0006 in)
Taper (A þ B) standard: 0.010 mm (0.0004 in)
If it exceeds the limit, rebore all cylinders. Replace cylinder
block if necessary.
2. Check for scratches and seizure. If seizure is found, hone it.
lIf cylinder block and piston are replaced, match piston
grade with grade number on cylinder block upper sur-
face.
3. Measure piston skirt diameter.
Piston diameter ``A'':
Refer to SDS, EM-95.
Measuring point ``a'' (Distance from the top):
Approximately 52 mm (2.05 in)
4. Check that piston-to-bore clearance is within specification.
Piston-to-bore clearance ``B'':
0.020 - 0.040 mm (0.0008 - 0.0016 in)
5. Determine piston oversize according to amount of cylinder
wear.
Oversize pistons are available for service. Refer to SDS,
EM-95.

b. Remove valve rocker and rocker shaft bracket.
If it is difficult to remove rocker shaft bracket, immerse
rocker shaft assembly in oil of 70ÉC (158ÉF) for a few min-
utes and then remove bracket.

a. When replacing only cylinder head gasket, install same
grade gasket as the one formerly used.
b. When replacing or repairing cylinder block, cylinder head,
piston, connecting rod and crankshaft, select gasket as fol-
lows:
lSelecting gasket thickness
(1) Measure piston projection from cylinder block surface.
a. Measure the projection a and a¢(cylinder liner height above
cylinder block) at two points in each cylinder.
b. Measure the projection b and b¢(piston height above cylin-
der block) at two points, when the piston is at the top dead
center position.
c. Calculate the piston height projection above cylinder liner b
-a(b¢-a¢).
d. Average the two projections (piston height above cylinder
liner) for each cylinder H
L.
(2) Select suitable cylinder head gasket which conforms to the
largest amount of projection of the four pistons.

corresponding to each cylinder. Care should be taken to
avoid a wrong combination including bearing.
b. When inserting piston pin in connecting rod, heat piston
with a heater or hot water [approximately 60 to 70ÉC (140
to 158ÉF)] and apply engine oil to pin and small end of
connecting rod.
