How to Select Piston and Bearing EBS00ILY
DESCRIPTION
*For the service parts, the grade for fitting cannot be selected between a piston pin and a connecting rod.
(Only 0 grade is available.) The information at the shipment from the plant is described as a reference.

The identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition.
This grade cannot apply to reused parts.

For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimension accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the
measurement with the values of each selection table.

For details of the measurement method of each part, the reuse standards, and the selection method of the
selective fitting parts, refer to the text.

HOW TO SELECT PISTON
Piston Selective Fitting When New Cylinder Block is Used:

Check the cylinder bore grade on the bottom face of cylinder
block, and select the piston of the same grade.
When Cylinder Block is Reused
1. Measure the cylinder block bore diameter.
2. Determine the bore grade by comparing the measurement with the values under the “Cylinder bore diam-
eter” of the piston selection table. Use oversized piston if clearance of standard grade piston is outside the
specified value.
Piston Selection Table
Unit: mm (in)
CAUTION:
Oversize must be used in all cylinders when using oversized parts.
NOTE:

The piston is available together with piston pin as an assembly.

The piston pin (piston pin bore) grade is provided only for the parts installed at the plant. For service parts,
no grades can be selected (Only 0 grade is available.).

Hone cylinder to obtain specified clearance between piston and cylinder bore when using an oversized
piston. Be sure to use the same oversized piston rings.

HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING
When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used
1. Apply big end inside diameter grade stamped on connecting rod
side face to the row in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection
Table”.
2. Apply pin diameter grade stamped on crankshaft front side to
the column in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table”.
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of selected row and column
in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table”.
4. Apply the symbol obtained to connecting rod bearing grade table
to select.
When Crankshaft and Connecting Rod are Reused
1. Measure dimensions of the big end inside diameter of connecting rod and diameter of crankshaft pin indi-
vidually.
2. Apply the measured dimension to the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table”.
3. The following steps are same as in “When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used”. Refer to EM-

Undersize Bearings Usage Guide

When the specified oil clearance is not obtained with standard size connecting rod bearings, use under-
size (US) bearings.

When using undersize bearing, measure the bearing inside diameter with bearing installed, and grind the
crankshaft pin so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard.

Unit: mm (in)
CAUTION:
In grinding the crankshaft pin to use undersize bearings, keep
the fillet R (All crankshaft pins).
HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING
When New Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Used
1. Apply main bearing housing grade on bottom face of cylinder
block to the row in the "Main Bearings Selection Table".
2. Apply journal diameter grade on crankshaft front to the column
in the "Main Bearings Selection Table".
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of selected row and column in the "Main Bearings Selection Table".
CAUTION:

Initial clearance for No.1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal is different. Use two different selection
lists for each part.

No.1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal have the same signs but different measures. Do not con-
fuse.
4. Apply the symbol to the "Main Bearings Grade Table" to select.
NOTE:

Grade list applies to all journals.

Service parts are available as a set of both upper and lower.

crankshaft arm when the crankshaft is moved fully forward or
backward using suitable tool.

If the measured value exceeds the repair limit, replace the thrust
bearings, and measure again. If it still exceeds the repair limit,
replace the crankshaft also.
CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE

Measure side clearance between connecting rod and crankshaft
arm using suitable tool.

If the measured value exceeds the repair limit, replace the con-
necting rod bearings, and measure again. If it still exceeds the
repair limit, replace the crankshaft also.

Piston and Piston Pin Clearance
(Piston pin clearance) = (Piston pin hole diameter) – (Piston pin
diameter)

If clearance exceeds specification, replace either or both of pis-
ton/piston pin assembly and connecting rod assembly with refer-
ence to specification of each part.

Refer to piston selection table to replace piston/piston pin
assembly. Refer to EM-83, "
HOW TO SELECT PISTON" .

Refer to connecting rod bearing selection table to replace con-
necting rod. Refer to EM-84, "
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING
ROD BEARING" .
NOTE:
The connecting rod small end grade and piston pin hole (piston
pin) grade are provided only for the parts installed at the plant.
For service parts, no grades can be selected. (Only 0 grade is
available.)

Refer to EM-92, "Connecting Rod Bushing Oil Clearance (Small
End)" for the values for each grade at the plant.
PISTON RING SIDE CLEARANCE

Measure side clearance of piston ring and piston ring groove
using suitable tool.

If out of specification, replace piston and/or piston ring assembly.
