If out of specification, replace piston ring. If gap still exceeds the
limit even with a new ring, do the following. Rebore cylinder and
use oversized piston and piston rings.
Refer to SDS (EM-167).
+When replacing the piston, check the cylinder block surface for
scratches or seizure. If scratches or seizure is found, hone or
replace the cylinder block.

CYLINDER BLOCK DISTORTION AND WEARNJEM0073S05+Clean upper surface of cylinder block.
Use a reliable straightedge and feeler gauge to check the flat-
ness of cylinder block surface.
Check along six positions shown in the figure.
Distortion limit: 0.04 mm (0.0016 in)
+If out of specification, resurface it. The limit for cylinder block
resurfacing is determined by cylinder head resurfacing in
engine.
Resurfacing limit:
Amount of cylinder head resurfacing is ªAº.
Amount of cylinder block resurfacing is ªBº.
The maximum limit is as follows:
A + B = 0.07mm (0.0028 in)
Nominal cylinder block height from crankshaft center:
252.95 - 253.05 mm (9.9586 - 9.9626 in)
+If necessary, replace cylinder block.

Method B (Using plastigage)
CAUTION:
+Do not turn crankshaft or connecting rod while plastigage
is being inserted.
+When bearing clearance exceeds the specified limit,
ensure that the proper bearing has been installed. If incor-
rect bearing clearance exists, use a thicker or undersized
main bearing to ensure specified clearance.

MAIN BEARING CRUSH HEIGHTNJEM0073S16+When the bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the
specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of
bearing must protrude.
Standard: There must be crush height.

Checking Exhaust SystemNJFE0010Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, chafing or deterioration.
Removal and InstallationNJFE0005CAUTION:
+Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when
reassembling.
+With engine running, check all tube connections for
exhaust gas leaks, and entire system for unusual noises.
+Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting
insulators are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive
noise or vibration.
+Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been
dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a
hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
+Before installing a new oxygen sensor, clean exhaust sys-
tem threads using oxygen sensor thread cleaner tool and
apply anti-seize lubricant.
+Do not overtorque the oxygen sensor. Doing so may
cause damage to the oxygen sensor, resuiting in the MIL
coming on.
+Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts which are
designed especially for heat resistance, corrosion
resistance, and shape.
+Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully
cooled down because the system will be heated just after
the engine stops.
+Be careful not to cut your hand on the insulator edge.
