Piston Skirt Diameter
Measure the outer diameter of piston skirt with micrometer.
Piston to Cylinder Bore Clearance
Calculate by piston skirt diameter and cylinder bore inner diameter (direction “Y”, position “B”).
(Clearance) = (Cylinder bore inner diameter) – (Piston skirt diameter).
If calculated value exceeds the limit, replace piston and piston pin assembly. Refer to EM-119, "HOW TO
SELECT PISTON" .
Re-boring Cylinder Bore
1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston to cylinder bore clearance to piston skirt diameter.
2. Install lower cylinder block, and tighten to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be distorted
in final assembly.
3. Cut cylinder bores.
NOTE:
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 in diameter at a
time.
4. Hone cylinders to obtain the specified piston to cylinder bore clearance.
5. Measure finished cylinder bore for the out-of-round and taper.
NOTE:
Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
CRANKSHAFT MAIN JOURNAL DIAMETER
Measure the outer diameter of crankshaft main journals with micrometer.
If out of the standard, measure the main bearing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing. Refer to EM-
132, "MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" . Measure point
: Distance from the top 38.8 mm (1.528 in)
Standard
: 95.480 - 95.510 mm (3.7590 - 3.7602 in)
PBIC0125E
Standard : 0.010 - 0.030 mm (0.0004 - 0.0012 in)
Limit : 0.08 mm (0.0031 in)
Re-bored size calculation: D = A + B – C
where,
D: Bored diameter
A: Piston skirt diameter as measured
B: Piston to cylinder bore clearance (standard value)
C: Honing allowance 0.02 mm (0.0008 in)
Standard : 64.951 - 64.975 mm (2.5571 - 2.5581 in) dia.
