How to Select Piston and BearingEBS00BPR
DESCRIPTION
lThe identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition.
This grade cannot apply to reused parts.
lFor reused or repaired parts, measure the dimension accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the
measurement with the values of each selection table.
lFor 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
When Using New Cylinder Block
1. Identify the cylinder bore grade (No. 1, 2, or 3) on LH surface at
the rear of cylinder block.
2. Select the piston of the same grade.
lThe part No. of piston is specified together with the piston pin as
an assembly.
When Re-using an Old Cylinder Block
1. Measure cylinder block bore inner diameter.
2. Referring to “Cylinder block bore inner diameter” in “Piston
Selection Table”, determine the bore grade.
3. Select the piston of the same grade.

crankshaft.
2. Select the connecting rod bearings of the same grade.
lThere is no grading for the inner diameter of the big end of the
connecting rod.
When Re-using the Removed Crankshaft and Connecting Rod
1. Measure the inner diameter of the big end of the connecting rod and make sure it is within the specified
range.
2. Measure the outer diameter of the crankshaft pin.
3. Determine the crankshaft pin grade by comparing the measurement with the values under the column
“Crankshaft pin outer diameter” of the table below.
4. Choose the bearings of the same grade.
