Crankshaft Inspection
1. Remove the crankshaft from the engine block(see page 7-13).
2. Clean the crankshaft oil passages with pipe cleaners or suitable brush.
3. Clean the keyway and the threads, and check for damage.
4. Measure the out-of-round at the middle of each rod and main journal in two places. The difference
between measurements on each journal must not
be more than the service limit.
5. Measure the taper at the edges of each rod and the main journal. The difference between
measurement on each journal must not be more
than the service limit. 6. Place the V-blocks on a flat surface.
7. Check the total runout with the crankshaft
supported on V-blo cks.
8. Measure the runout on all main journals. Rotate the crankshaft two complete revolutions. The
difference between measurements on each journal
must not be more than the service limit.

1. Remove the crankshaft and the pistons (see page
7-13).
2. Check the piston for distortion or cracks.
3. Measure the piston skirt diameter at a point 11 mm (0.4 in.) from the bottom of the skirt. There are two
standard-size pistons (No Letter or A, and B). The
letter is stamped on the top of the piston. Letters
are also stamped on the engine block as the
cylinder bore sizes. 4. Measure the wear and taper in direction X and Y at
three levels inside each cylinder as shown. If the
measurements in any cylinder are beyond the
Oversize Bore Service Limit, replace the engine
block. If the engine block is being rebored, refer to
step 7 after reboring.

4. Using a piston that has its rings removed, push a
new ring (A) into the cylinder bore 15 20 mm
(0.6 0.8 in.) from the bottom.
5. Measure the piston ring end-gap (B) with a feeler gauge:
 If the gap is too small, check to see if you have the proper rings for your engine.
 If the gap is too large, recheck the cylinder bore diameter against the wear limits (see page 7-16).
If the bore is beyond the service limit, the engine
block must be rebored. 6. Install the top ring and the second ring as shown.
The top ring (A) has a 1R mark, and the second ring
(B) has a 2R mark. The manufacturing marks (C)
must be facing upward.

7. After installing a new set of rings, measure the
ring-to-groove clearances:
8. Rotate the rings in their grooves to make sure they do not bind.
9. Position the ring end gaps as shown: 1. Set the crankshaft to bottom dead center (BDC) for
each cylinder as its piston is installed.
2. Remove the connecting rod caps, then install the ring compressor. Check that the bearing is securely
in place.
3. Apply new engine oil to the piston, inside of the ring compressor, and the cylinder bore, then attach
the ring compressor to the piston/connecting rod
assembly.
4. Position the mark (A) to face the cam chain side of the engine block.
5. Position the piston/connecting rod assembly in the cylinder, and tap it in using the wooden handle of a
