Valve Spring InspectionS6RW0D1406030
Valve Spring Free Length and Preload
Referring to data, check to be sure that each spring is in
sound condition, free of any evidence of breakage or
weakening. Remember, weakened valve springs can
cause chatter, not to mention possibility of reducing
power output due to gas leakage caused by decreased
seating pressure.
Valve spring free length
Standard: 36.83 mm (1.450 in.)
Limit: 35.83 mm (1.411 in.)
Valve spring preload
Standard: 107 – 125 N (10.7 – 12.5 kgf) for 31.50 mm
(23.6 – 27.6 lb/1.240 in.)
Limit: 102 N (10.2 kgf) for 31.50 mm (22.5 lb/1.240 in.)Spring Squareness
Use a square and surface plate to check each spring for
squareness in terms of clearance between end of valve
spring and square. Valve springs found to exhibit a
larger clearance than limit must be replaced.
Valve spring squareness
Limit: 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)

Installation
1) Apply engine oil to pistons, rings, cylinder walls,
connecting rod bearings and crank pins.
NOTE
Do not apply oil between connecting rod and
bearing or between bearing cap and bearing.

2) Install guide hoses (1) over connecting rod bolts.
These guide hoses protect crank pin and threads of
rod bolt from damage during installation of
connecting rod and piston assembly.
3) When installing piston and connecting rod assembly
into cylinder bore, point front mark (1) on piston head
to crankshaft pulley side.4) Install piston and connecting rod assembly into
cylinder bore. Use special tool (Piston ring
compressor) to compress rings. Guide connecting
rod into place on crankshaft.
Using a hammer handle, tap piston head to install
piston into bore. Hold ring compressor firmly against
cylinder block until all piston rings have entered
cylinder bore.
Special tool
(A): 09916–77310
5) Install bearing cap (1):
Point arrow mark (2) on cap to crankshaft pulley
side.
After applying engine oil to rod bolts and tighten cap
nuts (3) gradually as follows.
a) Tighten all cap nuts to 15 N⋅m (1.5 kgf-m, 11.0 lb-
ft).
b) Retighten them to 45°.
c) Repeat Step b) once again.
NOTE
Before installing bearing cap, make sure that
checking for connecting rod bolt
deformation. Refer to “Piston Pins and
Connecting Rods Inspection”.

Piston clearance
Measure cylinder bore diameter and piston diameter to
find their difference which is piston clearance. Piston
clearance should be within specification as follows. If it is
out of specification, rebore cylinder and use oversize
piston.
NOTE
Cylinder bore diameters used here are
measured in thrust direction at two positions.

Piston clearance
Standard (used piston): 0.032 – 0.061 mm (0.0013 –

Ring groove clearance
Before checking, piston grooves must be clean, dry and
free of carbon deposits.
Fit new piston ring (1) into piston groove, and measure
clearance between ring and ring land by using thickness
gauge (2). If clearance is out of specification, replace
piston.

Connecting Rod Bearing General Information
Service connecting rod bearings are available in
standard size and 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.) undersize
bearing, and standard size bearing has 5 kinds of
bearings differing in tolerance.
For identification of undersize bearing, it is painted red at
the position as indicated in figure, undersize bearing
thickness is 1.605 – 1.615 mm (0.0632 – 0.0635 in.) at
the center of it.
Connecting Rod Bearing Visual Inspection
Inspect bearing shells for signs of fusion, pitting, burn or
flaking and observe contact pattern. Bearing shells
found in defective condition must be replaced.
Connecting Rod Bearing Clearance
1) Before checking bearing clearance, clean bearing
and crank pin.
2) Install bearing in connecting rod and bearing cap.
3) Place a piece of gauging plastic (1) to full width of
crank pin as contacted by bearing (parallel to
crankshaft), avoiding oil hole.4) Install rod bearing cap (1) to connecting rod.
When installing cap, be sure to point arrow mark (2)
on cap to crankshaft pulley side, as shown in figure.
After applying engine oil to rod bolts, tighten cap nuts
(3) gradually as follows.
a) Tighten all cap nuts to 15 N⋅m (1.5 kgf-m, 11.0 lb-

5) Remove cap and using a scale (1) on gauging
plastic envelope (2), measure gauging plastic (2)
width at the widest point (clearance).
If clearance exceed its limit, use a new standard size
bearing referring to “Selection of Connecting Rod

Selection of Connecting Rod Bearings
NOTE
• If bearing is in malcondition, or bearing
clearance is out of specification, select a
new standard bearing according to the
following procedure and install it.
• When replacing crankshaft or connecting
rod and its bearing due to any reason,
select new standard bearings to be
installed by referring to numbers stamped
on connecting rod and its cap and/or
alphabets stamped on crank web of No.3
cylinder.

1) Check stamped numbers on connecting rod and its
cap as shown.
Three kinds of numbers (“1”, “2” and “3”) represent
the following connecting rod big end inside
diameters.
For example, stamped number “1” indicates that
corresponding connecting rod big end inside
diameter is 45.000 – 45.006 mm (1.7717 – 1.7718
in.).
Connecting rod big end inside diameter
2) Next, check crankshaft pin diameter. On crank web
No.3, four alphabets are stamped as shown in figure.
Three kinds of alphabet (“A”, “B” and “C”) represent
the following crankshaft pin diameter respectively.
For example, stamped “A” indicates that
corresponding crankshaft pin diameter is 41.994 –
42.000 mm (1.6533 – 1.6534 in.).

Out-of-Round and Taper (Uneven Wear) of Journals
An unevenly worn crankshaft journal shows up as a
difference in diameter at a cross section or along its
length (or both). This difference, if any, is determined by
taking micrometer readings. If any one of journals is
badly damaged or if amount of uneven wear in the sense
exceeds its limit, regrind or replace crankshaft.
