•UNDERSIZE BEARING (0.25 mm) :
0.25 mm undersize bearing is available, in 5 kinds varying in
thickness.
To distinguish them, each bearing is painted in the following
colors at such position as shown in the figure.
Each color represents the following thickness at the center of
bearing.
Under size main bearing thickness
•If necessary, regrind crankshaft journal and select undersize
bearing to use with it as follows.
1) Regrind journal to the following finished diameter.
Finished journal diameter :
64.738 – 64.756 mm (2.5487 – 2.5494 in.)
2) Using micrometer, measure reground journal diameter.
Measurement should be taken in 2 directions perpendicular
to each other in order to check for out-of-round.
3) Using journal diameter measured above and alphabets
stamped on lower crankcase, select an undersize bearing by
referring to table given below.
Check bearing clearance with newly selected undersize
bearing.

Honing or reboring cylinders
1) When any cylinder needs reboring, all other cylinders must
also be rebored at the same time.
2) Select oversized piston according to amount of cylinder
wear.
Oversize piston specification :
3) Using micrometer, measure piston diameter.
4) Calculate cylinder bore diameter to be rebored as follows.
D = A + B – C
Cylinder bore diameter to be rebored
A : Piston diameter as measured
B : Piston clearance = 0.02 – 0.04 mm (0.0008 – 0.0015 in.)
C : Allowance for honing = 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.)
5) Rebore and hone cylinder to calculated dimension.
6) Measure piston clearance after honing.Size Piston diameter
Standard 87.970 – 87.990 mm (3.4634 – 3.4642 in.)
Oversize 0.25 88.220 – 88.240 mm (3.4732 – 3.4740 in.)
Oversize 0.50 88.470 – 88.490 mm (3.4831 – 3.4839 in.)
NOTE:
Before reboring, install all main bearing caps in place
and tighten to specification to avoid distortion of bearing
bores.

NOTE:
Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any
time as damage to cooling system could occur.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze/Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.
“Hard water”, if used, will foul up the cooling circuit by scale formation. Tap water available from
city water supply is the best available water, in a practical sense, for the cooling system. Distilled
water is ideal but is a luxury in most cases.

General Description
Fuel System
The main components of the fuel system are fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel level gauge and it includes
three lines, fuel feed line, fuel return line and fuel vapor line.
For the details of fuel flow and fuel vapor flow, refer to Section 6E2.NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of Service Manual
mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.

REMOVAL
1) Relieve fuel pressure in fuel feed line referring to Section 6
or Section 6-1.
2) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
3) Before disconnecting fuel filler hose, give match marks on
fuel filler hose and fuel filler neck.
4) Disconnect fuel filler hose from fuel filler neck.
5) Insert hose of a hand operated pump into fuel filler hose and
drain fuel in space “A” in the figure (drain fuel through it till
fuel stops).
6) Remove fuel tank filler hose protector.
Disconnect filler hose from fuel tank and breather hose from
fuel filler neck.
7) Remove fuel tank inlet valve. Use care not to damage inlet
valve when removing.
8) Drain fuel tank by pumping fuel out through fuel tank filler.
Use hand operated pump device to drain fuel tank.
9) Disconnect fuel filter inlet hose from filter.CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done
so, it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.
CAUTION:
Do not force hose of a hand operated pump into fuel
tank. Doing so can damage inlet valve.

10) Disconnect fuel vapor hose and return hose from pipes.
11) Remove fuel tank protector (if equipped) from vehicle.
12) Lower fuel tank gradually while holding it horizontally and
pull out coupler at fuel pump.
INSPECTION
After removing fuel tank, check hoses and pipes connected to
fuel tank for leaks, loose connections, deterioration or damage.
Also check fuel pump and level gauge gaskets for leaks, visually
inspect fuel tank for leaks and damage.
Replace any damaged or malconditioned parts.
