2. INSPECT PISTON
A. Inspect piston oil clearanceHINT: There are 3 sizes of the standard piston diameter,
marked ª1º, ª2º and ª3º accordingly. The mark is stamped on
the piston top.
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the piston diameter at ring angles to the piston pin center line, 49 mm (1.93 in.) f rom the
piston head.
Piston diameter:
Mark ª1º87.470 ± 87.480 mm (3.4437 ± 3.4441 in.)
Mark ª2º 87.480 ± 86.490 mm (3.4441 ± 3.4445 in.)
Mark ª3º 87.490 ± 87.500 mm (3.4445 ± 3.4449 in.)
(b) Measure the cylinder bore diameter in the thrust directions. (See step 4 on page EG±xxx)
(c) Subtract the piston diameter measurement from the cylinder bore diameter measurement.
Standard oil clearance:
0.020 ± 0.040 mm (0.0008 ± 0.0016 in.)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.06 mm (0.0024 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace all the
8 pistons. If necessary, replace the cylinder block.
HINT (Use new cylinder block):
wUse a piston with the same number mark as the cylinder
diameter marked on the cylinder block.
w The shape of the piston varies for the RH and LH banks.
The RH piston is marked with ªRº, the LH piston with ªLº.

(b) Using a piston, push the piston ring a little beyond the bottom
of the ring travel, 105 mm (4.13 in.) from the top of the cylinder
block.
(c) Using a feeler gauge, measure the end gap.
Standard end gap: No.10.250 ± 0.450 mm (0.0098 ± 0.0177 in.)
No.2 0.350 ± 0.600 mm (0.0138 ± 0.0236 in.)

Oil (Side rail) 1.10 mm (0.0433 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.
D. Inspect piston pin fit At 60 5C (140 5F), you should be able to push the piston pin
into the piston pin hole with your thumb.

(b) Using a micrometer, measure the piston pin diameter.
Piston pin diameter:21.997 ± 22.009 mm (0.8660 ± 0.8665 in.)
(c) Subtract the piston pin diameter measurement from thebushing inside diameter measurement.
Standard oil clearance:
0.005 ± 0.011 mm (0.0002 ± 0.0004 in.)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
bushing. If necessary, replace the piston and piston pin as a
set.

C. If necessary, replace connecting rod bushing
(a) Using SST and a press, press out the bushing.SST 09222±30010
(b) Align the oil holes of a new bushing and the connecting rod.
(c) Using SST and a press, press out the bushing SST 09222±30010
(d) Using a pin hole grinder, hone the bushing to obtain the standard specified clearance (see step B above) between
the bushing and piston pin.
(e) Check the piston pin fit at normal room temperature. Coat the piston pin with engine oil, and push it into the con-
necting rod with your thumb.
D. Inspect connecting rod bolts Using a vernier caliper, measure the tension portion of of the
connecting rod bolt.
Standard diameter:
7.200 ± 7.300 mm (0.2835 ± 0.2874 in.)
Maximum diameter: 7.00 mm (0.2756 in.)
HINT: If the tension portion diameter is less than minimum,
replace the connecting rod bolt.

CRANKSHAFT INSPECTION
EG0BY±0D
1. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT FOR CIRCLE RUNOUT
(a) Place the crankshaft on V±blocks.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout at the centerjournal.
Maximum circle runout:
0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
If the circle runout is greater than maximum, replace the
crankshaft.
2. INSPECT MAIN JOURNALS AND CRANK PINS
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of each main journal and crank pin.
Main journal diameter:
66.988 ± 67.000 mm (2.6373 ± 2.6378 in.)
Crank pin diameter: 51.982 ± 52.000 mm (2.0465 ± 2.0472 in.)
If the diameter is not as specified, check the oil clearance
(See steps 3 or 6 on page EG±156 or 160). If necessary, re-
place the crankshaft.
(b) Ch e ck ea ch ma in jo u rn a l an d cra n k pin fo r t aper and
