• Measure the side clearance of piston ring and piston ring groove
with a feeler gauge (A).
• If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace piston ring, and measure again. If it still exceeds the limit,
replace piston also.
PISTON RING END GAP
• Make sure that cylinder bore inner diameter is within specification. Follow the "Cylinder Bore Inner Diameter"
procedure.
• Lubricate with new engine oil to piston (1) and piston ring (2), and
then insert (A) piston ring until middle of cylinder (B) with piston,
and measure piston ring end gap with a feeler gauge (C).
• If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace piston ring, and measure again. If it still exceeds the limit,
re-bore cylinder and use oversized piston and piston rings.

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, follow the "PISTON TO PISTON PIN OIL CLEARANCE" proce-
dure.
• If replacing connecting rod assembly, follow the "Connecting Rod Bushing Oil Clearance" procedure 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.

necting rod bearing cap (1), and tighten connecting rod bolts to the
specified torque. Refer to EM-77, "
Disassembly and Assembly"
for tightening procedure.
• Measure the inner diameter of connecting rod bearing with an
inside micrometer.
(Bearing oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bearing inner diameter)
– (Crankshaft pin journal diameter)
• If clearance exceeds the limit, select proper connecting rod bearing according to connecting rod big end
diameter and crankshaft pin journal diameter to obtain specified bearing oil clearance. Refer to EM-85, "
How
to Select Piston and Bearing".
Method of Using Plastigage
• Remove engine oil and dust on crankshaft pin and the surfaces of each bearing completely.
• Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil
holes.
• Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and cap, and tighten connecting rod bolts to the specified
torque. Refer to EM-77, "
Disassembly and Assembly" for the tightening procedure.
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft.
• Remove connecting rod cap and bearing, and using the scale (A)
on the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is
same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”.
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Calculation
• Install main bearings (3) to cylinder block (1) and main bearing cap
(2), and tighten main bearing cap bolts to the specified torque.
