Measure the distortion on the cylinder block upper face at some
different points in six directions with straightedge and feeler
gauge.

If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder block.
MAIN BEARING HOUSING INNER DIAMETER

Install main bearing caps and main bearing beam (VQ35DE)
without installing main bearings, and tighten main bearing cap
bolts to the specified torque. Refer to EM-233, "
ASSEMBLY"
for the tightening procedure.

Measure the inner diameter of main bearing housing with bore
gauge.

If out of the standard, replace cylinder block and main bearing
caps as assembly.
NOTE:
Cylinder block cannot be replaced as a single part, because it is
machined together with main bearing caps.
PISTON TO CYLINDER BORE CLEARANCE
Cylinder Bore Inner Diameter

Using bore gauge, measure cylinder bore for wear, out-of-round
and taper at six different points on each cylinder. (“X” and “Y”
directions at “A”, “B” and “C”) (“X” is in longitudinal direction of
engine)

If the measured value exceeds the limit, or if there are scratches
and/or seizure on the cylinder inner wall, hone or re-bore the
inner wall.

Oversize piston is provided. When using oversize piston, re-
bore cylinder so that the clearance of the piston-to-cylinder bore
satisfies the standard.
CAUTION:
When using an oversize piston, use over size pistons for all
cylinders with oversize piston rings.Limit : 0.1 mm (0.004 in)

Piston Skirt Diameter
Measure outer diameter of piston skirt with micrometer.
Piston to Cylinder Bore Clearance
Calculate by piston skirt diameter and cylinder bore inner diameter (direction “Y”, position “B”).
(Clearance) = (Cylinder bore inner diameter) – (Piston skirt diameter)

If calculated value exceeds the limit, replace piston and piston pin assembly. Refer to EM-240, "HOW TO
SELECT PISTON" .
Re-boring Cylinder Bore
1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston to cylinder bore clearance to piston skirt diameter.
2. Install main bearing caps and main bearing beam (VQ35DE), and tighten to the specified torque. Other-
wise, cylinder bores may be distorted in final assembly. Refer to EM-233, "
ASSEMBLY" .
3. Cut cylinder bores.
NOTE:

When any cylinder needs boring, all other cylinders must also be bored.

Do not cut too much out of cylinder bore at a time. Cut only 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or so in diameter at a
time.
4. Hone cylinders to obtain the specified piston to cylinder bore clearance.
5. Measure finished cylinder bore for the out-of-round and the taper.
NOTE:
Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
