How to Select Piston and Bearing EBS00RFJ
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 shipment 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 dimension 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, refer to the text.
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.

2006 QX56
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. Use oversized piston if the clearance of standard grade piston is outside
the specified value.
Piston Selection Table
Unit: mm (in)
CAUTION:
Oversize must be used in all cylinders when using oversized parts.
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).

Hone the cylinder to obtain specified clearance between the piston and cylinder bore when using an over-
sized piston. Be sure to use the same oversized piston rings.
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
Ta b l e ”.
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 ”. Refer to

Undersize Bearings Usage Guide

When the specified oil clearance is not obtained with standard size connecting rod bearings, use under-
size (US) bearings.

When using undersize bearing, measure the bearing inside diameter with the bearing installed, and grind
the crankshaft pin so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard.

HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING
When New Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Used
1. Apply the main bearing housing grade on the bottom face of the
cylinder block to the row in "Main Bearings Selection Table".
2. Apply the journal diameter grade on the crankshaft front to the column in "Main Bearings Selection Table".
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of the selected row and column in the "Main Bearings Selection Table". CAUTION:

Initial clearance for No. 1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal is different. Use two different selection
lists for each part.

No. 1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal have the same signs but different measures. Do not con-
fuse them.
4. Apply the symbol to the "Main Bearings Grade Table" to select. NOTE:

Grade list applies to all journals.

Service parts are available as a set of both upper and lower.
When Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Reused
1. Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder block main bearings housing and the outside diameter of thecrankshaft journal.
2. Apply measurement in above step 1 to "Main Bearings Selection Table".
3. The following steps are same as in “When New Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Used”. Refer to EM-90,
