CYLINDER BLOCK DISTORTION
• Using a scraper, remove any old gasket material on the cylinder block surface, and remove any oil, scale, carbon, or other contami-
nation.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow gasket fl akes to enter the oil or coolant
passages.
• Measure the distortion on the block upper face at different points in six directions.
• If out of specification, resurfac e the cylinder block. The allowable
amount of resurfacing is dependent on the amount of any cylinder
head resurfacing. The resurfacing limit is [amount of cylinder head resurfacing] + [amount of cylinder head
resurfacing] = 0.2 mm (0.008 in).
INNER DIAMETER OF MAIN BEARING HOUSING
• Install the main bearing caps with the main bearings removed, and tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
• Using a bore gauge, measure the inner diameter of the main bear-
ing housing (A).
• If out of the standard, replace the cylinder block and main bearing caps as an assembly.
NOTE:
These components cannot be replaced as a single unit, because
they were processed together.
PISTON-TO-CYLINDER BORE CLEARANCE
1. Using a bore gauge, measure cylinder bore for wear, out -of-round and taper at (A), (B) and (C). The X axis
is in the longitudinal direction of the engine.

5. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding pi
ston-to-bore clearance to piston diameter (A).
6. Install main bearing caps, and tighten to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be distorted after boring.
7. Cut cylinder bores. •When any cylinder needs boring, all ot her 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.
8. Hone cylinders to obtain specified piston-to-bore clearance.
9. Measure finished cylinder bore for out-of-round and taper. •Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
CRANKSHAFT
1. Check the crankshaft main and pin journals for scoring, wear, or
cracks.
2. Measure the journals for taper and out-of-round.
3. Measure crankshaft runout.
a. Place a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals on the both ends of the crankshaft.
b. Place a dial gauge straight up on the No. 3 journal.
c. While rotating the crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer on the dial gauge.
BEARING CLEARANCE
• Use either of the following two methods, however me thod (A) gives more reliable results and so is the pre-
ferred method.

2. Install the main bearing caps and bearing beam to the cylinder block. Tighten all bolts in the numerical order as specified. Refer
to EM-224, "Disassembly and Assembly"
.
3. Measure the inner diameters (A) of each main bearing as shown.
4. Measure the outer diameters (Dm) of each crankshaft main jour- nal as shown.
5. Calculate the main bearing clearance. Main bearing clearance = (A) - (Dm)
• If it exceeds the limit, replace the bearing.
• If clearance cannot be adjusted using any standard bearing
grade, grind crankshaft journal and use an undersized bear-
ing.
• When grinding the crankshaft journal, confirm that the (L) dimension in the fillet role is more than the specified limit.
6. If the crankshaft or the cylinder block is replaced wit h a new one, select thickness of the main bearings as
follows:
