INSPECTION





1. REMOVE GASKET MATERIAL
Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the top surface of the cylinder block.
2. CLEAN CYLINDER BLOCK
Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylinder block.

NOTICE: If the cylinder is washed at high temperatures, the cylinder liner sticks out beyond the cylinder block, so always wash the cylinder block at a temperature of 45°C (133°F) or less.





3. INSPECT TOP SURFACE OF CYLINDER BLOCK FOR FLATNESS
Using a precision straight edge and feeler gauge, measure the surface contacting the cylinder head gasket for warpage.
Maximum warpage: 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch)
If warpage is greater than maximum, replace the cylinder block.





4. INSPECT CYLINDER BORE DIAMETER
Visually check the cylinder for vertical scratches. If deep scratches are present, replace the cylinder block.





5. INSPECT CYLINDER BORE DIAMETER
Using a cylinder gauge, measure the cylinder bore diameter at positions A, B and C in the thrust and axial directions.
Standard diameter:
75.00 - 75.01 mm (2.953 - 2.953 inch)
Maximum diameter:
75.13 mm (2.958 inch)
If the average diameter of 4 positions is greater than the maximum, replace the cylinder block.





6. REMOVE CYLINDER RIDGE
If the wear is less than 0.2 mm (0.008 inch), using a ridge reamer, grind the top of the cylinder.





7. INSPECT 12 POINTED HEAD BEARING CAP SUB ASSEMBLY BOLTS
Using vernier calipers, measure the tension portion diameter of the bolt.
Standard diameter: 7.3 - 7.5 mm (0.287 - 0.295 inch)
Minimum diameter: 7.3 mm (0.287 inch)
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the bolt.





8. CLEAN PISTON
a) Using a gasket scraper, remove the carbon from the piston top.





b) Using a groove cleaning tool or broken ring, clean the piston ring grooves.





c) Using solvent and a brush, thoroughly clean the piston.

NOTICE: Do not use a wire brush.





9. INSPECT PISTON OIL CLEARANCE
a) Using a micrometer, while placing the piston up side down, take measurement at the position of 27 mm (1.06 inch).
Piston diameter:
74.945 - 74.955 mm (2.95058 - 2.95098 inch)
b) Measure the cylinder bore diameter in the thrust directions. (See procedure in step 5)
c) Subtract the piston diameter measurement from the cylinder bore diameter measurement.
Standard oil clearance:
0.045 - 0.068 mm (0.00177 - 0.00268 inch)
Maximum oil clearance:
0.08 mm (0.0031 inch)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace all the 4 pistons. If necessary, replace the cylinder block.





10. INSPECT PISTON RING GROOVE CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between new piston ring and the wall of the ring groove.
Ring groove clearance:
0.030 - 0.070 mm (0.0012 - 0.0028 inch)
If the clearance is not as specified, replace the piston.








11. INSPECT PISTON RING END GAP
a) Insert the piston ring into the cylinder bore.
b) Using a piston, push the piston ring a little beyond the bottom of the ring travel, 110 mm (4.33 inch) from the top of the cylinder block.
c) Using a feeler gauge, measure the end gap.
Standard end gap:
No.1 0.25 - 0.35 mm (0.0098 - 0.0138 inch)
No.2 0.35 - 0.50 mm (0.0138 - 0.0197 inch)
Oil (Side rail) 0.10 - 0.35 mm (0.0039 - 0.0138 inch)
Maximum end gap:
No. 1 0.91 mm (0,0358 inch)
No. 2 1.06 mm (0.0417 inch)
Oil (Side rail) 0.82 mm (0.0323 inch)
If the end gap is greater than maximum, replace the piston ring. If the end gap is greater than maximum, even with a new piston ring, replace the cylinder block.





12. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD ALIGNMENT
Using a rod aligner and feeler gauge, check the connecting rod alignment.
^ Check for out-of-alignment
Maximum out-of alignment:
0.05 mm (0.0020 inch) per 100 mm (3.94 inch)
If out-of alignment is greater than maximum, replace the connecting rod assembly.





^ Check for twist
Maximum twist:
0.05 mm (0.0020 inch) per 100 mm (3.94 inch)
If twist is greater than maximum, replace the connecting rod assembly.





13. INSPECT PISTON PIN OIL CLEARANCE
a) Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the connecting rod bushing.
Bushing inside diameter:
18.010 - 18.019 mm (0.7091 - 0.7094 inch)





b) Using a micrometer, measure the piston pin diameter.
Piston pin diameter: 17.988 - 18.007 mm (0.7086 - 0.7089 inch)
c) Subtract the piston pin diameter measurement from the bushing inside diameter measurement.
Standard oil clearance:
0.009 - 0.015 mm (0.0003 - 0.0006 inch)
Maximum oil clearance:
0.05 mm (0.0020 inch)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the bushing. If necessary, replace the piston and piston pin as a set.





14. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD BOLTS
Using a vernier calipers, measure the tension portion diameter of the bolt.
Standard diameter: 6.6 - 6.7 mm (0.260 - 0.264 inch)
Minimum diameter: 6.4 mm (0.252 inch)
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the bolt.





15. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT FOR CIRCLE RUNOUT
a) Place the crankshaft on V-blocks.
b) Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout, as shown in the illustration.
Maximum circle runout: 0.03 mm (0.0012 inch)
If the circle runout is greater than maximum, replace the crankshaft.





16. INSPECT MAIN JOURNALS AND CRANK PINS
a) Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of each main journal and crank pin.
Main journal diameter:
46.000 - 46.012 mm (1.81102 - 1.81149 inch)
Crank pin diameter:
39.992 - 40.000 mm (1.5745 - 1.5748 inch)
If the diameter is not as specified, check the oil clearance.
If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
b) Check each main journal and crank pin for taper and out of-round as shown.
Maximum taper and out-of-round:
0.02 mm (0.0008 inch)
If the taper and out-of round is greater than maximum, replace the crankshaft.

b) Align the oil hoses of a new bushing and the connecting rod.
c) Using SST and a press, press in the bushing.

d) Using a pin hole grinder, hone the bushing to obtain the standard specified clearance between the bushing and piston pin.





e) Check the piston pin fit at normal room temperature. Coat the piston pin with engine oil, and push it into the connecting rod with your thumb.





2. REPLACE CRANKSHAFT REAR OIL SEAL
If rear oil seal is installed to cylinder block
a) Using a knife cut off the oil seal lip.
b) Using a screwdriver, pry out the oil seal.
