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 bore inner diameter (direction “Y”, position “B”).
(Clearance) = (Cylinder bore inner diameter) – (Piston skirt diameter).
If the calculated value exceeds the limit, replace piston and piston pin assembly. Refer to EM-135, "HOW
TO SELECT PISTON" .
Re-boring Cylinder Bore
1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston to cylinder bore clearance to piston skirt diameter.
2. Install main bearing caps and main bearing beam, and tighten to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder
bores may be distorted in final assembly.
3. Cut cylinder bores.
NOTE:
When any cylinder needs boring, all other cylinders must also be bored.
Do not cut too much out of cylinder bore at a time. Cut only 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or so in diameter at a
time.
4. Hone cylinders to obtain the specified piston to cylinder bore clearance.
5. Measure finished cylinder bore for the out-of-round and taper.
NOTE:
Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
CRANKSHAFT MAIN JOURNAL DIAMETER
Measure the outer diameter of crankshaft main journals with a micrometer.
If out of the standard, measure the main bearing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing. Refer to EM-
147, "MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" . Measure point
