Measure the outer diameter of piston pin with a micrometer (A).
Connecting Rod Bushing Oil Clearance
(Connecting rod bushing oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bushing inner diameter) – (Piston pin outer diame-
ter)
 If the measured value is out of the standard, replace connecting rod assembly and/or piston and piston pin
assembly.
 If replacing piston and piston pin assembly, refer to "PISTON TO PISTON PIN OIL CLEARANCE".
 If replacing connecting rod assembly, refer to "Connecting Rod Bushing Oil Clearance" to select connecting
rod bearing.
CYLINDER BLOCK TOP SURFACE DISTORTION
 Using a 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.
 Measure the distortion on the cylinder block upper face at some
different points in six directions with a straight edge (A) and feeler
gauge (B).
 If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder block.
MAIN BEARING HOUSING INNER DIAMETER
 Install main bearing cap without main bearings installed, and tighten main bearing cap bolts to the specified
torque. Refer to EM-212, "
Disassembly and Assembly" for the tightening procedure.
 Measure the inner diameter of main bearing housing with a bore gauge.
 Measure the position shown [5 mm (0.20 in)] backward from main
bearing housing front side in the 2 directions as shown. The
smaller one is the measured value.
 If out of the standard, replace cylinder block and main bearing
caps assembly.
NOTE:

 Measure the dimensions at four different points as shown on each
main journal and pin journal with a micrometer.
 Out-of-round is indicated by the difference in dimensions between
“X” and “Y” at “A” and “B”.
 Taper is indicated by the difference in dimension between “A” and
“B” at “X” and “Y”.
 If the measured value exceeds the limit, correct or replace crankshaft.
 If corrected, measure the bearing oil clearance of the corrected main journal and/or pin journal. Then select
main bearing and/or connecting rod bearing. Refer to "MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" and/or "CON-
NECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE".

< PRECAUTION >[K9K]
PRECAUTIONS
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Drain CoolantINFOID:0000000001381450
Drain coolant when engine is cooled.
Precaution for Disconnecting Fuel PipingINFOID:0000000001381451
 Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.
 Release fuel pressure before disassembly.
 After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precaution for Removal and DisassemblyINFOID:0000000001381452
 When instructed to use special service tools, use the specified tools. Always be careful to work safely, avoid
forceful or uninstructed operations.
 Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.
 Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
 Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and re-assembly.
 When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified.
Precaution for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementINFOID:0000000001381453
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precaution for Assembly and InstallationINFOID:0000000001381454
 Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specified value.
 When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is specified,
do exactly same as specified.
 Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
 Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check oil or coolant passages for any restriction
and blockage.
 Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assemble, spread the oil on sliding surfaces well.
 Release air within route when refilling after draining coolant.
 Before starting engine, apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped).
Then make sure that there are no leaks at fuel line connections.
 After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check coolant, fuel, oil, and exhaust systems for
leakage.
Parts Requiring Angular TighteningINFOID:0000000001381455
 Use an angle wrench for the final tightening of the following engine parts.
- Cylinder head bolts
- Lower cylinder block bolts
- Connecting rod cap bolts
- Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angular
tightening)
 Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
 The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
 Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.
