PISTON TO CYLINDER BORE CLEARANCE
Cylinder Bore inner Diameter
 Using a bore gauge, measure cylinder bore for wear, out-of-round
and taper at six different points on each cylinder. [(A) and (B) direc-
tions at (C), (D) and (E)] is in longitudinal direction of engine.
 If the measured value exceeds the limit, or if there are scratches and/or seizure on the cylinder inner wall,
hone or re-bore the inner wall.
 Oversize piston is provided. When using oversize piston, re-bore cylinder so that the clearance of the piston-
to-cylinder bore satisfies the standard.
CAUTION:
When using oversize pist on, use oversize pistons for all cyl inders with oversize piston rings.

CYLINDER BLOCK
Measure the outer diameter of piston skirt with a micrometer (A).
Piston-to-Cylinder Bore Clearance
Calculate by piston skirt diameter and cylinder bore inner diameter
[direction (B), position (D)].
(Clearance) = (Cylinder bore inner diameter) – (Piston skirt diameter).
 If the calculated value exceeds the limit, r eplace piston and piston pin assembly. Refer to EM-137,
"CylinderBlock".
Re-boring Cylinder Bore
1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston to cylinder bore clearance to piston skirt diameter.
2. Install main bearing cap, and tighten to the specifi ed 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:
Perform measurement after cylinder bore cools down.
