(4) Before installing a new valve guide, make
sure that neither scratches nor damages exist
on the inner surface of valve guide holes in cyl-
inder head.

(6) Check the valve guide protrusion.
Valve guide protrusion L:
11.4 — 11.8 mm (0.449 — 0.465 in)
(7) Ream the inside of valve guide using ST.
Put the reamer in valve guide, and rotate the
reamer slowly clockwise while pushing it lightly.
Bring the reamer back while rotating it clock-
wise. After reaming, clean the valve guide to re-
move chips.
ST 499765900 VALVE GUIDE REAMER
NOTE:
•Apply engine oil to the reamer when reaming.
•If the inner surface of valve guide is damaged,
the edge of reamer should be slightly ground with
oil stone.
•If the inner surface of valve guide becomes lus-
trous and the reamer does not chip, use a new
reamer or remedy the reamer.
(8) Recheck the contact condition between
valve and valve seat after replacing the valve
guide.
4. INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE
1) Inspect the flange and stem of valve, and re-
place if damaged, worn or deformed, or if “H” ex-
ceeds the standard, or offset wear occurs.

In the following case, pinch and remove the oil seal
from valve using pliers, and then replace it with a
new one.
•When the lip is damaged.
•When the spring is out of the specified position.
•When readjusting the surfaces of intake valve
and valve sheet.
•When replacing the intake valve guide.
1) Set the cylinder head on ST1.
2) Press-fit the oil seal to the specified dimension
indicated in the figure using ST2.

E: INSPECTION
1. CYLINDER BLOCK
1) Visually check for cracks and damage. Especial-
ly, inspect the important parts using liquid pene-
trant tester.
2) Check the oil passages for clogging.
3) Inspect the crankcase surface that mates with
cylinder head for warping by using a straight edge.
Standard height of cylinder block:
202 mm (7.95 in)
2. CYLINDER AND PISTON
1) The cylinder bore size is stamped on the front
upper face of the cylinder block.
NOTE:
•Measurement should be performed at a temper-
ature of 20°C (68°F).
•Standard sized pistons are classified into two
grades, “A” and “B”. These grades should be used
as guide lines in selecting a standard piston.
Standard diameter:
A: 89.205 — 89.215 mm (3.5120 — 3.5124 in)
B: 89.195 — 89.205 mm (3.5116 — 3.5120 in)
2) How to measure the inner diameter of each cyl-
inder:
Measure the inner diameter of each cylinder in both
the thrust and piston pin directions at the heights as
shown in the figure, using a cylinder bore gauge.
NOTE:
Measurement should be performed at a tempera-
ture of 20°C (68°F).
Cylindricality:
Standard
0.030 mm (0.0012 in)
Out-of-roundness:
Standard
0.010 mm (0.0004 in)
3) When the piston is to be replaced due to general
or cylinder wear, determine a suitable sized piston
by measuring the piston clearance.

4) Check the snap ring installation groove (A) on
the piston for burr. If necessary, remove burr from
the groove so that the piston pin can lightly move.
5) Check the piston pin snap ring for distortion,
cracks and wear.
4. PISTON RING
1) If the piston ring is broken, damaged or worn, or
if its tension is insufficient, or when the piston is re-
placed, replace the piston ring with a new one of
the same size as piston.
CAUTION:
•Marks are displayed on the end of top and
second rings. When installing the ring to pis-
ton, face this mark upward.
•Oil ring consists of the upper rail, expander
and lower rail. When installing on the piston, be
careful of the direction of each rail
2) Squarely place the piston ring and oil ring in cyl-
inder, and measure the piston ring gap with a thick-
ness gauge.
3) Measure the clearance between piston ring and
piston ring groove with a thickness gauge.
NOTE:
Before measuring the clearance, clean the piston
ring groove and piston ring.

5. CONNECTING ROD
1) Replace the connecting rod, if the large or small
end thrust surface is damaged.
2) Check for bend or twist using a connecting rod
aligner. Replace the connecting rod if it has the
bend or twist.
3) Install the connecting rod fitted with bearing to
crankshaft and measure the thrust clearance. If the
clearance exceeds the standard or offset wear oc-
curs, replace the connecting rod.
Connecting rod thrust clearance:
Standard
0.070 — 0.330 mm (0.0028 — 0.0130 in)
4) Inspect the connecting rod bearing for scar,
peeling, seizure, melting, wear, etc.
5) Measure the oil clearance on each connecting
rod bearing using plastigauge. If any oil clearance
is not within the standard, replace the defective
bearing with a new one of standard size or under-
size as necessary. (See the table below.)
Connecting rod oil clearance:
Standard
0.016 — 0.043 mm (0.0006 — 0.0017 in)
6) Inspect the bushing at connecting rod small end,
and replace if worn or damaged. Also measure the
piston pin clearance at connecting rod small end.

(3) Make two 3 mm (0.12 in) holes in bushing.
Ream the inside of bushing.
(4) After completion of reaming, clean the bush-
ing to remove chips.
6. CRANKSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT
BEARING
1) Clean the crankshaft completely, and check it for
cracks using liquid penetrant tester. Replace if de-
fective.
2) Check the crankshaft for bend, and repair or re-
place if needed. Repair or replace if bended.
NOTE:
If a suitable V-block is not available, install #1 and
#5 crankshaft bearing on cylinder block, position
the crankshaft on these bearings, and then check
the crankshaft bend using a dial gauge.
3) Inspect the crank journal and crank pin for wear.
If they are not within the specification, replace the
bearing with a suitable (undersize) one, and re-
place or readjust crankshaft as necessary. When
grinding the crank journal or crank pin, finish them
to the specified dimensions according to the under-
size bearing to be used.
