Cylinder Head InspectionS6RW0D1406029
• Remove all carbon deposits from combustion
chambers.
NOTE
Do not use any sharp-edged tool to scrape
off carbon deposits. Be careful not to scuff or
nick metal surfaces when decarbonizing. The
same applies to valves and valve seats, too.

• Check cylinder head for cracks on intake and exhaust
ports, combustion chambers, and head surface. Using
a straightedge and thickness gauge, check flatness of
gasketed surface at a total of 6 locations. If distortion
limit is exceeded, correct gasketed surface with a
surface plate and abrasive paper of about #400
(Waterproof silicon carbide abrasive paper): place
abrasive paper on and over surface plate, and rub
gasketed surface against paper to grind off high spots.
Should this fail to reduce thickness gauge readings to
within limit, replace cylinder head.
Leakage of combustion gases from this gasketed joint
is often due to warped gasketed surface: such
leakage results in reduced power output.Distortion for cylinder head surface on piston side
Limit: 0.03 mm (0.001 in.)
• Distortion of manifold seating faces:
Check seating faces of cylinder head for manifolds,
using a straightedge and thickness gauge, in order to
determine whether these faces should be corrected or
cylinder head replaced.
Distortion for cylinder head surface on intake and
exhaust manifold
Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 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.

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”.

compression rings (Top and 2nd) and oil ring from
piston.
2) Remove piston pin from connecting rod as follows.
a) Ease out piston pin circlips (1), as shown.
b) Force piston pin out.
Assembly
1) Decarbonize piston head and ring grooves using a
suitable tool.
2) Install piston pin to piston (1) and connecting rod (2):
a) After applying engine oil to piston pin and piston
pin holes in piston and connecting rod.
b) Installing connecting rod to piston.
NOTE
Be sure to position front mark (4) on piston
and oil hall (5) of connecting rod at specified
position as shown in figure.

c) Insert piston pin to piston and connecting rod.
d) Install piston pin circlips (3).
NOTE
Circlip should be installed with its cut part
facing as shown in figure. Install so that
circlip end gap comes within such range as
indicated by arrow.

3) Install piston rings to piston:
• As indicated in figure, 1st and 2nd rings have “T”
mark (4) respectively. When installing these piston
rings to piston, direct marked side of each ring
toward top of piston.
• 1st ring (1) differs from 2nd ring (2) in thickness,
shape and color of surface contacting cylinder
wall.
Distinguish 1st ring from 2nd ring by referring to
the figure.
• When installing oil ring (3), install spacer first and
then two rails.

Cylinders, Pistons and Piston Rings InspectionS6RW0D1406034
Cylinder
Visual inspection
Inspect cylinder walls for scratches, roughness or ridges
which indicate excessive wear. If cylinder bore is very
rough or deeply scratched, or ridged, rebore cylinder and
use over size piston.
Cylinder bore diameter, taper and out-of-round
Using a cylinder gauge (1), measure cylinder bore in
thrust and axial directions at two positions (“a” and “b”)
as shown in figure.
If any of the following conditions is noted, rebore
cylinder.
1) Cylinder bore dia. exceeds limit.
2) Difference of measurements at two positions
exceeds taper limit.
3) Difference between thrust and axial measurements
exceeds out-of-round limit.
Cylinder bore diameter
Standard: 78.000 – 78.014 mm (3.0709 – 3.0714
in.)
Limit: 78.050 mm (3.073 in.)
Cylinder taper and out-of-round
Limit: 0.10 mm (0.004 in.)
NOTE
If any one of four cylinders has to be rebored,
rebore all four to the same next oversize.
This is necessary for the sake of uniformity
and balance.

Piston
Visual inspection
Inspect piston for faults, cracks or other damages.
Damaged or faulty piston should be replaced.
Piston diameter
As indicated in figure, piston diameter should be
measured at a position 19.5 mm (0.77 in.) (“a”) from
piston skirt end in the direction perpendicular to piston
pin.
Piston diameter specification
Standard size (used piston): 77.953 – 77.968 mm

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 –
0.0024 in.)
Standard (new piston with coating): 0.010 – 0.051
mm (0.0004 – 0.0020 in.)
Limit: 0.161 mm (0.0065 in.)
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.
Ring groove clearance
Piston Ring
Piston ring end gap
To measure end gap, insert piston ring (2) into cylinder
bore and then measure the gap by using thickness
gauge (1).
If measured gap exceeds limit, replace ring.

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.).
