INSPECTION AND REPAIR
Make the necessary adjustments, repairs, and part
replacements if excessive wear or damage is
discovered during inspection.
1. Remove the cylinder head gasket and any other
material adhering to the upper surface of the
cylinder block.
Be very careful not to allow any material to
accidentally drop into the cylinder block.
Be very careful not to scratch the cylinder block.
2. Carefully remove liquid gasket, which was used
when assembled, from gear case, rear oil seal
retainer and crank case.
3. Wipe the cylinder block clean and visually check it.
4. Use a straight edge and a feeler gauge to measure
the four sides and the two diagonals of the cylinder
block upper face.
If the measured values exceed the limit, the cylinder
block must be replaced.
Limit: 0.20 mm (0.0079 in)

measuring direction for thrust and radial at
measuring points.

2. Select the right piston grade by the averaged
cylinder bore measurement (maximum and
minimum value eliminated).

C 95.441 – 95.450 (3.7575 – 3.7579)
3. If measured values exceed the limit, replace or
adjust the cylinder block honing or boring.
Limit 95.950 mm (3.7776 in)
4. Boring of the cylinder bore is allowed until it is
0.5 mm (0.0197 in) diameter and oversized piston
is available as a service part.
Boring Cylinder Block
1. Use an oversized piston on the basis of above
mentioned cylinder using the largest inside
diameter.
2. Measure the piston outside diameter at right angles
with piston pin at a piston grade measuring point
69.75 mm (2.7461 in) from piston top surface and
calculate a inside diameter for cylinder boring.
3. Calculation of cylinder bore boring.

REASSEMBLY
1. Cylinder Block
2. Piston Cooling Oil Pipe
1) Fix the cooling jet pipes with knock pins on the
cylinder block.
2) Install the oil pipe for piston cooling in the
cylinder block, tightening a relief valve (1) and
four joint bolts (2) to the specified torque.
If oil jet pipe is forcibly assembled, the end of oil
jet may bend. It could make it impossible to
supply oil to the piston cooling hole, sometimes
causing piston seizure.
Sufficient care should be taken to pipe assembly
work.
