12. Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod and
connecting rod cap.
• When installing the connecting rod bearings, apply engine oilto the bearing surface (inside). Do not apply oil to the back
surface, but thoroughly clean it.
• When installing, align the connecting rod bearing stopper pro-
trusion with the cutout of the connecting rod to install.
• Check that the oil holes on the connecting rod and those on the corresponding bearing are aligned.
13. Install the piston and connecting rod assembly to the crankshaft using Tool.
• Position the crankshaft pin corresponding to the connecting
rod to be installed onto bottom dead center.
• Apply engine oil sufficiently to the cylinder bore, piston, and
crankshaft pin.
• Match the cylinder position with the cylinder No. on the con- necting rod to install.
• Install the piston with the front mark on the piston crown facing the front of the engine.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the crankshaft pin, resu lting from an interference of the connecting rod
big end.
14. Install connecting rod cap. • Match the stamped cylinder number marks on the connectingrod with those on the cylinder cap to install.
15. Tighten connecting rod bolts using Tool. • Apply engine oil to threads and seats of connecting rod bolts.
• After tightening bolts, make sure the crankshaft rotatessmoothly.
• Check connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-90,
"Inspection After Disassembly".

• Move the crankshaft fully forward and backward and measure the
clearance between the thrust bear ings and crankshaft arm using
suitable tool.
• If measured value exceeds the repair limit, replace the thrust bear- ings, and measure again. If it still exceeds the repair limit, replace
crankshaft also.
CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE
• Measure side clearance between the connecting rod and crank-shaft arm using suitable tool.
• If measured value exceeds the repair limit, replace the connecting rod bearings, and measure again. If it still exceeds the repair limit,
replace the crankshaft also.
PISTON AND PISTON PIN CLEARANCE
Piston Pin Hole Diameter
• Measure diameter of piston pin hole using suitable tool.
Piston Pin Diameter
• Measure diameter of piston pin using suitable tool.

• Measure point ″H″.
Piston to Cylinde r Bore Clearance
• Calculate by using diameter of the piston skirt and the cylinder bore diameter (direction X, position B).
(Clearance) = (Cylinder bore diameter) – (piston skirt diameter)
• If calculation exceeds the limit, replace piston/piston pin assembly.
Reboring Cylinder Bore
1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding pi ston-to-bore clearance to piston diameter “A”.
2. Install main bearing caps, and tighten them to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be dis-
torted in final assembly.
3. Cut the 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 one time. Cut only 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or so in diameter at atime.
4. Hone cylinders to obtain the specified piston-to-bore clearance.
5. Measure finished cylinder bore for out-of-round and taper. NOTE:
Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
CRANKSHAFT JOURNAL DIAMETER
• Measure diameter of crankshaft journals.
• If measurement is out of standard, measure the main bearing oil clearance. Then use the undersize bearing.

• Measure diameter of crankshaft pin using suitable tool.
• If measurement is out of standard, measure connecting rod bear-
ing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing.
OUT-OF-ROUND AND TAPER OF CRANKSHAFT
• Measure dimensions at four di fferent points as shown on each
journal and pin.
• Out-of-roundness is indicated by the difference in dimension
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 measured value exceeds the standard, correct or replace crankshaft.
• If corrected, measure the bearing oil clearance of the corrected journal or pin. Then select the main bearing or connecting rod bearing.
CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT
• Place a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals onboth ends of the crankshaft.
• Measure at No. 3 journal using suitable tool.
• While rotating crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer.
• Half of the movement shows the runout.
• If measurement exceeds the limit, replace crankshaft.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method of Measurement
• Install connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod and cap. Tighten connecting rod bolts to the specified
torque. Refer to EM-83, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
Measure inside diameter of connecting rod bearing.
(Oil clearance) = (Inside diameter of connecting rod bearing) –
(Crankshaft pin diameter)
• If clearance cannot be adjusted wit hin the standard, grind crank-
shaft pin and use undersized bearing. Refer to EM-101, "

• Remove oil and dust on the crankshaft pin and surfaces of eachbearing completely.
• Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place
it in the crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.
• Install the connecting rod beari ngs to the connecting rod and con-
necting rod bearing cap, and tighten the connecting rod bolts to the
specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft with plastigage installed.

the plastigage width using the scale on the plastigage bag.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the repair limit is the same as that described in “Method
of Measurement”.
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method of Measurement
• Install the main bearings to the cylinder block and main bearing cap. Measure the main bearing inside diameter with the bearing
cap bolts tightened to the specified torque. Refer to EM-83, "
Disas-
sembly and Assembly".
(Oil clearance) = (Inside diameter of main bearing) – (Crankshaft
journal diameter)
• If measured value exceeds the repair limit, select main bearings referring to the main bearing inside diame-
ter and crankshaft journal diameter, so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard. Refer to EM-101, "
How
to Select Piston and Bearing".
Method of Using Plastigage
• Remove oil and dust on the crankshaft journal and surfaces of
each bearing completely.
• Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.

How to Select Piston and BearingINFOID:0000000005885904
DESCRIPTION
*For the service parts, the grade for fitting cannot be selected between a piston pin and a connecting rod.
(Only 0 grade is available.) The information at the sh
ipment from the plant is described as a reference.
• The identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition.
This grade cannot apply to reused parts.
• For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimens ion accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the
measurement with the values of each selection table.
• For details of the measurement method of each part , the reuse standards, and the selection method of the
selective fitting parts, follow the applicable procedures.
HOW TO SELECT PISTON
Piston Selective Fitting When New Cylinder Block is Used:
• Check the cylinder bore grade on the bottom face of the cylinder
block, and select the piston of the same grade.

HOW TO SELECT PISTON AND BEARING
When Cylinder Block is Reused
1. Measure cylinder block bore diameter.
2. Determine the bore grade by comparing the measurement with the values under the “Cylinder bore diam-
eter” of the piston selection table.
Piston Selection Table
Unit: mm (in)
NOTE:
• The piston is available together with piston pin as an assembly.
• The piston pin (piston pin bore) grade is provided only for the parts installed at the plant. For service parts, no grades can be selected (only 0 grade is available).
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING
When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used
1. Apply the big end inside diameter grade stamped on the con-
necting rod side face to the row in the “Connecting Rod Bearing
Selection Table”.
2. Apply the pin diameter grade stamped on the crankshaft front side to the column in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection
Table”.
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of the selected row and col-
umn in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table".
4. Apply the symbol obtained to the "Connecting Rod Bearing Grade Table" to select.
When Crankshaft and Connecting Rod are Reused
1. Measure dimensions of the big end inside diameter of the connecting rod and diameter of the crankshaftpin individually.
2. Apply the measured dimension to the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table”.
3. The following steps are the same as in “When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used”.
