HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING
When New Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Used
1. “Main Bearing Selection Table” rows correspond to main bearing
housing grade on rear upper side between cylinder block banks.
2. “Main Bearing Selection Table” columns correspond to main
journal diameter grade on front side of crankshaft.
3. Select main bearing grade at the point where selected row and column meat in “Main Bearing Selection
Table”.
CAUTION:
Initial clearance for No. 1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal is different. Use two different selection
table 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 sign at crossing in above step 3 to “Main Bearing Grade Table”.
NOTE:
“Main Bearing Grade Table” applies to all journals.
Service parts is available as a set of both upper and lower.
When Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Reused
1. Measure the cylinder block main bearing housing inner diameter and the crankshaft main journal diame-
ter. Refer to EM-270, "
MAIN BEARING HOUSING INNER DIAMETER" and EM-271, "CRANKSHAFT
MAIN JOURNAL DIAMETER" .
2. Correspond the measured dimension in “Cylinder block main bearing housing inner diameter” row of
“Main Bearing Selection Table”.
3. Correspond the measured dimension in “Crankshaft main journal diameter” column of “Main Bearing
Selection Table”.
4. Follow step 3 and later in “When New Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Used”.

When replacing piston and piston pin assembly, refer to EM-260, "HOW TO SELECT PISTON" .
NOTE:
Piston is available together with piston pin as assembly.
Piston pin (piston pin hole) grade is provided only for the parts installed at the plant. For service parts,
no piston pin grades can be selected. (Only “0” grade is available.)
PISTON RING SIDE CLEARANCE
Measure the side clearance of piston ring and piston ring groove
with feeler gauge.
If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace piston ring, and measure again. If it still exceeds the limit,
replace piston also.
PISTON RING END GAP
Make sure that the cylinder bore inner diameter is within the
specification. Refer to EM-270, "
Cylinder Bore Inner Diameter" .
Lubricate with new engine oil to piston and piston ring, and then
insert piston ring until middle of cylinder with piston, and mea-
sure the piston ring end gap with feeler gauge.
If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace piston ring, and measure again. If it still exceeds the limit,
re-bore cylinder and use oversize piston and piston rings.Standard:
Top ring : 0.045 - 0.080 mm (0.0018 - 0.0031 in)
2nd ring : 0.030 - 0.070 mm (0.0012 - 0.0028 in)
Oil ring : 0.065 - 0.135 mm (0.0026 - 0.0053 in)
Limit:

Top ring : 0.11 mm (0.0043 in)

2nd ring : 0.10 mm (0.004 in)

Oil ring : 0.20 - 0.50 mm (0.008 - 0.020 in)
Limit:


Top ring : 0.56 mm (0.0220 in)


2nd ring : 0.56 mm (0.0220 in)

Piston Pin Outer Diameter
Measure the outer diameter of piston pin with micrometer.
Connecting Rod Bushing Oil Clearance
(Connecting rod bushing oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bushing inner diameter) – (Piston pin outer diame-
ter)
If the calculated value exceeds the limit, replace connecting rod assembly and/or piston and piston pin
assembly.
If replacing piston and piston pin assembly, refer to EM-260, "HOW TO SELECT PISTON" .
If replacing connecting rod assembly, refer to EM-273, "CON-
NECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" to select the con-
necting rod bearing.
Factory installed parts grading:
Service parts apply only to grade “0”.

CYLINDER BLOCK DISTORTION
Using scraper, remove gasket on the cylinder block surface, and also remove engine oil, scale, carbon, or
other contamination.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow gasket flakes to enter engine oil or engine coolant passages. Standard : 21.989 - 22.001 mm (0.8657 - 0.8662 in)
