INSPECTION
1. REMOVE GASKET MATERIAL
Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the
top surface of the cylinder block.
2. 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 a temperature of 45°C (113°F) or less.
3. INSPECT TOP SURFACE OF CYLINDER BLOCK FOR
FLATNESS
Using a precision straight edge and feeler gauge, measure the
surface contacting the cylinder head gasket for warpage.
Maximum warpage: 0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)
If warpage is greater than maximum, replace the cylinder block.
4. INSPECT CYLINDER FOR VERTICAL SCRATCHES
Visually check the cylinder for vertical scratches.
If deep scratches are present, replace the cylinder block.

5. INSPECT CYLINDER BORE DIAMETER
Using a cylinder gauge, measure the cylinder bore diameter at
positions A, B and C in the thrust and axial directions.
Standard diameter:
87.500 - 87.512 mm (3.4449 - 3.4453 in.)
Maximum diameter: 87.52 mm (3.4457 in.)
If the diameter is greater than maximum, replace the cylinder
block.
6. REMOVE CYLINDER RIDGE
If the wear is less than 0.2 mm (0.008 in.), using a ridge reamer,
grind the top of the cylinder.
7. INSPECT 12 POINTED HEAD MAIN BEARING CAP
BOLTS
Using vernier calipers, measure the tension portion diameter of
the bolt.
Standard diameter:
7.500 - 7.600 mm (0.2953 - 0.2992 in.)
Minimum diameter: 7.20 mm (0.2835 in.)
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the bolt.
8. CLEAN PISTON

(b) Using a groove cleaning tool or broken ring, clean the pis-
ton ring grooves.
(c) Using solvent and a brush, thoroughly clean the piston.
NOTICE:
Do not use a wire brush.
9. INSPECT PISTON OIL CLEARANCE
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the piston diameter at right
angles to the piston pin center line, 41.2 mm (1.622 in.)
from the piston head.
Piston diameter:
87.453 - 87.467 mm (3.4430 - 3.4436 in.)
(b) Measure the cylinder bore diameter in the thrust direc-
tions. (See step 5.)
(c) Subtract the piston diameter measurement from the cylin-
der bore diameter measurement.
Standard oil clearance:
0.033 - 0.059 mm (0.0013 - 0.0023 in.)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.13 mm (0.0051 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace all the 6
pistons. If necessary, replace the cylinder block.
HINT:
The shape of the piston varies for the RH and LH banks. The
RH piston is marked with ºRº, the LH piston with ºLº.
10. INSPECT PISTON RING GROOVE CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between new pis-
ton right and the wall of the ring groove.
Ring groove clearance:
No.10.010 - 0.060 mm (0.0004 - 0.0028 in.)
No.20.020 - 0.060 mm (0.0008 - 0.0024 in.)

If the end gap is greater than maximum, replace the piston ring.
If the end gap is greater than maximum, even with a new piston
ring, replace the cylinder block.
12. INSPECT PISTON PIN FIT
At 60°C (140°F), you should be able to push the piston pin into
the piston pin hole with your thumb.
13. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD ALIGNMENT
Using a rod aligner and feeler gauge, check the connecting rod
alignment.
Check for out-of-alignment.
Maximum out-of-alignment:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.) per 100 mm (3.94 in.)
If bend is greater than maximum, replace the connecting rod as-
sembly.

Minimum diameter: 7.0 mm (0.276 in.)
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the bolt.
16. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT FOR CIRCLE RUNOUT
(a) Place the crankshaft on V-blocks.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout, as
shown in the illustration.
