• Measure the position shown [5 mm (0.196 in) rearward from main bearing housing front side end surface) in the 2 directions as
shown. The smaller one is the measured value.
• If out of the standard, replace cylinder block and main bearing caps as an assembly.

• Using a bore gauge, measure the cylinder bore for wear, out-of-
round and taper at six different points on each cylinder. (“X” and
“Y” directions at “A”, “B” and “C”) (“Y” is in longitudinal direction of
the engine)
NOTE:
When determining cylinder bore grade, measure cylinder bore at
“B” position.
• If the measured value exceeds the limit, or if there are scratches and/or seizure on the cylinder inner wall,
replace cylinder block.
NOTE:
There is no service setting for oversized piston.
Piston Skirt Diameter Measure the outer diameter of piston skirt with a micrometer.
Piston to Cylinder Bore Clearance Calculate by piston skirt diameter and cylinder bor e inner diameter (direction “X”, position “B”).
(Clearance) = (Cylinder bore inner di ameter) – (Piston skirt diameter)
• If it exceeds the limit, replace piston and piston pin assembly and/or cylinder block.
CRANKSHAFT MAIN JOURNAL DIAMETER • Measure the outer diameter of crankshaft main journals with a micrometer (A).
• If out of the standard, measure the main bearing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing.
CRANKSHAFT PIN JOURNAL DIAMETER A : Unit: mm (in)

• Measure the inner diameter of connecting rod bearing with an
inside micrometer.
(Bearing oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bearing inner diameter)
– (Crankshaft pin journal diameter)
• If the clearance exceeds the limit, select proper connecting rod bearing according to connecting rod big end diameter and crank-
shaft pin journal diameter to obtain the specified bearing oil clear-
ance. Refer to EM-111, " Connecting Rod Bearing " .
Method of Using Plastigage
• Remove engine oil and dust on crankshaft pin and the surfaces of each bearing completely.
• Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil
holes.
• Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and c ap, and tighten connecting rod bolts to the specified
torque. Refer to EM-96, " Disassembly and Assembly " .
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft. Standard : Refer to
EM-121, " Cylinder Block " .

• Remove connecting rod cap and bearing, and using the scale on
the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is
same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”.
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Calculation • Install main bearings to cylinder block and main bearing cap, and tighten main bearing cap bolts to the spec- ified torque. Refer to EM-96, " Disassembly and Assembly " .
• Measure the inner diameter of main bearing with a bore gauge.
(Bearing oil clearance) = (Main bearing inner diameter) – (Crank-
shaft main journal diameter)
• If the clearance exceeds the limit, select proper main bearing according to main bearing inner diameter and crankshaft main
journal diameter to obtain the specified bearing oil clearance.
Refer to EM-113, " Main Bearing " .
Method of Using Plastigage • Remove engine oil and dust on crankshaft main journal and the surfaces of each bearing completely.
• Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil
holes.
• Install main bearings to cylinder block and main bearing cap, and tighten main bearing cap bolts to the spec- ified torque. Refer to EM-96, " Disassembly and Assembly " .
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft.
• Remove main bearing cap and bearings, and using the scale on
the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is
same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”.
MAIN BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT • When main bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of bearing
must protrude. Refer to EM-96, " Disassembly and Assembly " .
• If the standard is not met, replace main bearings. Main Bearing " .

CONNECTING ROD BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT
• When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings installed, the
tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-96, " Disassembly
and Assembly " .
• If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.
MAIN BEARING CAP BOLT OUTER DIAMETER
• Measure the outer diameters (“d 1”, “d 2”) at two positions as shown.
• If reduction appears in a position other than “d 2 ”, regard it as “d 2”.
• If it exceeds the limit (a large difference in dimensions), replace main bearing cap bolt with a new one.
CONNECTING ROD CAP BOLT OUTER DIAMETER
• Measure the outer diameter “d” at position as shown.
• If reduction appears in a position other than “d”, regard it as “d”.
• When “d” falls below the limit (when it becomes thinner), replace connecting rod cap bolt with a new one.
FLYWHEEL DEFLECTION
• Measure the deflection of flywheel contact surface to clutch with a
dial indicator.
• If measured value is out of the standard, replace flywheel. Standard: There must be crush height. PBIC1646E

• 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 dimens ion 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, follow the procedures.

WHEN NEW CONNECTING ROD AND CRANKSHAFT ARE USED 1. Apply connecting rod big end diameter grade stamped (C) on connecting rod side face to the row in the “Connecting Rod
Bearing Selection Table”.
2. Apply crankshaft pin journal diameter grade stamped (B) on crankshaft front side to the column in the “Connecting Rod Bear-
ing Selection Table”.
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of selected ro w and column in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection
Table”.
4. Apply the symbol obtained to the “Connecting Rod Bear ing Grade Table” to select connecting rod bearing.
WHEN CONNECTING ROD AND CRANKSHAFT ARE REUSED 1. Measure the dimensions of the connecting rod big end diameter and crankshaft pin journal diameter indi-
vidually. Refer to EM-103, " Inspection " .
