2. Measure outer diameter of piston pin ``Dp''.
Standard diameter ``Dp'':
26.994 - 27.000 mm (1.0628 - 1.0630 in)
3. Calculate piston pin clearance.
dp þ Dp = þ0.004 to 0 mm (þ0.0002 to 0 in)
If it exceeds the above value, replace piston assembly with pin.
PISTON RING SIDE CLEARANCE
Side clearance:
Top ring
0.060 - 0.093 mm (0.0024 - 0.0037 in)
2nd ring
0.040 - 0.073 mm (0.0016 - 0.0029 in)
Max. limit of side clearance:
0.1 mm (0.004 in)
If out of speci®cation, replace piston ring. If clearance exceeds
maximum limit with new ring, replace piston.
PISTON RING END GAP
End gap:
Top ring
0.20 - 0.28 mm (0.0079 - 0.0110 in)
2nd ring
0.20 - 0.46 mm (0.0079 - 0.0181 in)
Oil ring
0.30 - 0.56 mm (0.0118 - 0.0220 in)
Max. limit of ring gap:
0.4 mm (0.016 in)
If out of speci®cation, replace piston ring. If gap still exceeds maxi-
mum limit with new ring, rebore cylinder and use oversized piston
and piston rings. Refer to SDS, EM-62.
+When replacing the piston, check cylinder block surface
for scratches or seizure. If scratches or seizure are found,
hone or replace the cylinder block.
CONNECTING ROD BEND AND TORSION
Bend:
Limit 0.025 mm (0.0010 in)
per 100 mm (3.94 in) length
Torsion:
Limit 0.025 mm (0.0010 in)
per 100 mm (3.94 in) length
If it exceeds the limit, replace connecting rod assembly.

CYLINDER BLOCK DISTORTION AND WEAR
1. Clean upper surface of cylinder block. Using a reliable straight-
edge and feeler gauge, check the ¯atness of cylinder block
surface.
+Check along six positions as shown in ®gure.
Limit:
0.10 mm (0.0039 in)
2. If out of speci®cation, resurface it.
The limit for cylinder block resurfacing is determined by the
amount of cylinder head resurfacing.
Amount of cylinder head resurfacing is ``A''.
Amount of cylinder block resurfacing is ``B''.
The maximum limit is as follows:
A + B = 0.2 mm (0.008 in)
Nominal cylinder block height
from crankshaft center:
227.40 - 227.50 mm (8.9527 - 8.9567 in)
3. If necessary, replace cylinder block.
PISTON-TO-BORE CLEARANCE
1. Using a bore gauge, measure cylinder bore for wear, out-of-
round and taper.
Standard inner diameter ``Db'':
85.000 - 85.030 mm (3.3465 - 3.3476 in)
Wear limit:
0.20 mm (0.0079 in)
Out-of-round (X þ Y):
Less than 0.015 mm (0.0006 in)
Taper (A þ B or A þ C):
Less than 0.010 mm (0.0004 in)
If it exceeds the limit, rebore all cylinders. Replace cylinder block if
necessary.
2. Check for scratches and seizure. If seizure is found, hone it.

3. Measure piston skirt diameter.
Piston diameter ``A'':
Refer to SDS, EM-61.
Measuring point ``a'' (Distance from the bottom):
18 mm (0.71 in)
4. Check that piston-to-bore clearance is within speci®cation.
Piston-to-bore clearance ``B'' = Bore measurement
``C'' þ Piston diameter ``A'':
0.025 - 0.045 mm (0.0010 - 0.0018 in)
5. Determine piston oversize according to amount of cylinder
wear.
Oversize pistons are available for service. Refer to SDS,
EM-61.
6. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston-to-bore clear-
ance to piston diameter ``A''.
Rebored size calculation:
D=A+BþC
where,
D: Bored diameter
A: Piston diameter as measured
B: Piston-to-bore clearance
C: Honing allowance 0.02 mm (0.0008 in)
7. Install main bearing cap and tighten bolts to 90 to 100 Nzm (9.2
to 10.2 kg-m, 67 to 74 ft-lb). This will prevent distortion of cyl-
inder bores.
8. Cut cylinder bores.
+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 at a time.
9. Hone cylinders to obtain speci®ed piston-to-bore clearance.
10. Measure ®nished cylinder bore for out-of-round and taper.
+Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools
down.

and main bearing cap.
2. Install main bearing cap to cylinder block.
Tighten all bolts in correct order in two or three stages. Refer

4. Measure outer diameter ``Dm'' of each crankshaft main journal.
5. Calculate main bearing clearance.
Main bearing clearance = A þ Dm:
Standard 0.036 - 0.063 mm (0.0014 - 0.0025 in)
Limit 0.12 mm (0.0047 in)
If it exceeds the limit, replace bearing.
+If clearance cannot be adjusted within the standard of any
bearing, grind crankshaft journal and use undersized bearing.
+If crankshaft or cylinder block is replaced, select thickness of
main bearings as follows:
a. Grade number of each cylinder block main journal is punched
on the respective cylinder block. These numbers are punched
in either Arabic or Roman numerals.
b. Grade number of each crankshaft main journal is punched on
the respective crankshaft. These numbers are punched in
either Arabic or Roman numerals.
c. Select main bearing with suitable thickness according to the
following table.
Main bearing grade number:
Main journal grade number 0 1 2
Crankshaft
journal grade
