E: INSPECTION
1. CYLINDER BLOCK
1) Visually check for cracks and damage. Especial-
ly, inspect the important parts using liquid pene-
trant tester.
2) Check the oil passages for clogging.
3) Inspect the crankcase surface that mates with
cylinder head for warping by using a straight edge.
Standard height of cylinder block:
202 mm (7.95 in)
2. CYLINDER AND PISTON
1) The cylinder bore size is stamped on the front
upper face of the cylinder block.
NOTE:
•Measurement should be performed at a temper-
ature of 20°C (68°F).
•Standard sized pistons are classified into two
grades, “A” and “B”. These grades should be used
as guide lines in selecting a standard piston.
Standard diameter:
A: 89.205 — 89.215 mm (3.5120 — 3.5124 in)
B: 89.195 — 89.205 mm (3.5116 — 3.5120 in)
2) How to measure the inner diameter of each cyl-
inder:
Measure the inner diameter of each cylinder in both
the thrust and piston pin directions at the heights as
shown in the figure, using a cylinder bore gauge.
NOTE:
Measurement should be performed at a tempera-
ture of 20°C (68°F).
Cylindricality:
Standard
0.030 mm (0.0012 in)
Out-of-roundness:
Standard
0.010 mm (0.0004 in)
3) When the piston is to be replaced due to general
or cylinder wear, determine a suitable sized piston
by measuring the piston clearance.

4) How to measure the outer diameter of each pis-
ton:
Measure the outer diameter of each piston at the
height as shown in the figure. (Thrust direction)
NOTE:
Measurement should be performed at a tempera-
ture of 20°C (68°F).
Piston grade point H:
37.3 mm (1.4865 in)
Piston outer diameter:
Standard
A: 89.205 — 89.215 mm (3.5120 — 3.5124
in)
B: 89.195 — 89.205 mm (3.5116 — 3.5120
in)
0.25 mm (0.0098 in) oversize
89.445 — 89.465 mm (3.5215 — 3.5222 in)
0.50 mm (0.0197 in) oversize
89.695 — 89.715 mm (3.5313 — 3.5321 in)
5) Calculate the clearance between cylinder and
piston.
NOTE:
Measurement should be performed at a tempera-
ture of 20°C (68°F).
20 Cylinder to piston clearance at 20°C (68°F):
Standard
–0.010 — 0.010 mm (–0.00039 — 0.00039 in)
6) Boring and honing:
(1) If the value of cylindricality, out-of-round-
ness, or cylinder-to-piston clearance measured
is out of standard or if there is any damage on
the cylinder wall, rebore it to use an oversize
piston.
CAUTION:
When any of the cylinders needs reboring, all
other cylinders must be bored at the same time,
and use oversize pistons. Do not perform bor-
ing on one cylinder only. Nor use an oversize
piston for one cylinder only.
(2) If the cylinder inner diameter exceeds
89.715 mm (3.5321 in) after boring and honing,
replace the crankcase.
NOTE:
Immediately after reboring, the cylinder diameter
may differ from its real diameter due to temperature
rise. Thus, pay attention to this when measuring
the cylinder diameter.
3. PISTON AND PISTON PIN
1) Check the pistons and piston pins for damage,
cracks and wear, and the piston ring grooves for
wear and damage. Replace if faulty.
2) Measure the piston-to-cylinder clearance at
each cylinder. <Ref. to ME(H6DO)-71, CYLINDER
AND PISTON, INSPECTION, Cylinder Block.>If
any of the clearances is not within standard, re-
place the piston or bore the cylinder to use an over-
size piston.
3) Make sure that the piston pin can be inserted
into the piston pin hole with a thumb at 20°C (68°F).
Replace if faulty.
Standard clearance between piston pin and
hole in piston:
Standard
0.004 — 0.008 mm (0.0002 — 0.0003 in)

4) Check the snap ring installation groove (A) on
the piston for burr. If necessary, remove burr from
the groove so that the piston pin can lightly move.
5) Check the piston pin snap ring for distortion,
cracks and wear.
4. PISTON RING
1) If the piston ring is broken, damaged or worn, or
if its tension is insufficient, or when the piston is re-
placed, replace the piston ring with a new one of
the same size as piston.
CAUTION:
•Marks are displayed on the end of top and
second rings. When installing the ring to pis-
ton, face this mark upward.
•Oil ring consists of the upper rail, expander
and lower rail. When installing on the piston, be
careful of the direction of each rail
2) Squarely place the piston ring and oil ring in cyl-
inder, and measure the piston ring gap with a thick-
ness gauge.
3) Measure the clearance between piston ring and
piston ring groove with a thickness gauge.
NOTE:
Before measuring the clearance, clean the piston
ring groove and piston ring.

5. CONNECTING ROD
1) Replace the connecting rod, if the large or small
end thrust surface is damaged.
2) Check for bend or twist using a connecting rod
aligner. Replace the connecting rod if it has the
bend or twist.
3) Install the connecting rod fitted with bearing to
crankshaft and measure the thrust clearance. If the
clearance exceeds the standard or offset wear oc-
curs, replace the connecting rod.
Connecting rod thrust clearance:
Standard
0.070 — 0.330 mm (0.0028 — 0.0130 in)
4) Inspect the connecting rod bearing for scar,
peeling, seizure, melting, wear, etc.
5) Measure the oil clearance on each connecting
rod bearing using plastigauge. If any oil clearance
is not within the standard, replace the defective
bearing with a new one of standard size or under-
size as necessary. (See the table below.)
Connecting rod oil clearance:
Standard
0.016 — 0.043 mm (0.0006 — 0.0017 in)
6) Inspect the bushing at connecting rod small end,
and replace if worn or damaged. Also measure the
piston pin clearance at connecting rod small end.
