HINT: If using a standard bearing, replace with one having
the same number. If the number of the bearing cannot be de-
termined, select the correct bearing by adding together the
numbers imprinted on the connecting rod cap and crank-
shaft, then selecting the bearing with the same number as the
total. There are six sizes of standard bearings, marked º2º,
º3º, º4º, º5º, º6º and º7º accordingly.

INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF
CYLINDER BLOCK
1. CLEAN CYLINDER BLOCK
A. Remove gasket material Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from
the top surfaces of the cylinder block.
B. 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 temperature of 45 5 or
less.
2. INSPECT TOP SURFACES OF CYLINDER BLOCK FOR FLATNESS
Using precision straight edge and feeler gauge, measure the
top surfaces of the cylinder block for warpage.
Maximum warpage: 0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)
If warpage is greater than maximum, replace the cylinder
block.

3. INSPECT CYLINDER FOR VERTICAL SCRATCHESVisually check the cylinder for vertical scratches.
If deep scratches are present, replace the cylinder block.
4. INSPECT CYLINDER BORE DIAMETER HINT: There are three sizes of the standard cylinder bore di-
ameter, marked º1º, º2º and º3º accordingly. The marked is
stamped on the top of the cylinder block.
Using a cylinder gauge, measure the cylinder bore diameter
at positions A, B and C in the thrust and axial directions.
Standard diameter:
Mark º1º 87.500±87.510 mm (3.4449±3.4453 in.)
Mark º2º 87.510±87.520 mm (3.4453±3.4457 in.)
Mark º3º 87.520±87.530 mm (3.4457±3.4461 in.)
Maximum diameter: 87.73 mm (3.4539 in.)
If the diameter is greater than maximum, replace the cylinder
block.
5. REMOVE CYLINDER RIDGE If the wear is less than 0.2 mm (0.008 in.), using a ridge ream-
er, grind the top of the cylinder.

6. INSPECT MAIN BEARING CAP STUD BOLTSUsing a vernier caliper, measure the tension portion diameter
of the stud bolt.
Standard diameter: 7.500±7.600 mm
(0.2953±0.2992 in.)
Minimum diameter: 7.40 mm (0.2913 in.)
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the stud bolt.
7. IF NECESSARY, REPLACE MAIN BEARING CAP STUD BOLTS
(a) Using the two main bearing cap nuts, remove the studbolt.
(b) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under
the flange of the stud bolt.
(c) Using the two main bearing cap nuts, install and torque
the stud bolt.
Torque: 10 N Vm (100 kgf Vcm, 7 ft Vlbf)
HINT: Stud bolts come in lengths of 90.0 mm (3.543 in.) and
101.5 mm (3.996 in.). Install the 101.5 mm (3.996 in.) bolts
in inside positions. Install the 90.0 mm (3.543 in.) bolts in out-
side positions.
DISASSEMBLY OF PISTON AND
CONNECTING ROD ASSEMBLIES
1. CHECK FIT BETWEEN PISTON AND PISTON PIN
Try to move the piston back and forth on the piston pin.
If any movement is felt, replace the piston and pin as a set.

2. REMOVE PISTON RINGS(a) U s i n g a p i s t o n r i n g e x pander, remove the two
compression rings.
(b) Remove the two side rails and oil ring expander by hand.
HINT: Arrange the piston rings in correct order only.
3. DISCONNECT CONNECTING ROD FROM PISTON (a) Using a small screwdriver, pry out the two snap rings.
(b) Gradually heat the piston to approx. 60 °C (140 °F).
(c) Using a plastic±face hammer and brass bar, lightly tap out the piston pin and remove the connecting rod.
