2. INSPECT PISTON
A. Inspect piston oil clearanceHINT: There are three sizes of the standard piston, marked
º1º, º2º and º3º accordingly. The mark is stamped on the top
of the piston.
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the piston diameter atright angles to the piston pin center line, 49 mm (1.93 in.)
from the piston head.
Piston diameter:
Mark º1º 87.470±87.480 mm (3.4437±3.4441 in.)
Mark º2º 87.480±87.490 mm
(3.4441±3.4445 in.)
Mark º3º 87.490±87.500 mm (3.4445±3.4449 in.)
(b) Me a su re th e cyli nder bore diameter in the thrust
directions. (See step 4 on page EM±143)
(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
eight pistons. If necessary, replace the cylinder block.
HINT (Use new cylinder block):
w Use a piston with the same size mark as the cylinder
bore diameter size mark on the cylinder block.
w The shape of the piston varies for the RH and LH banks.
The RH piston is marked with ºRº, the LH piston with ºLº.

B. Inspect piston ring groove clearanceUsing a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between new
piston ring and the wall of the piston ring groove.
Ring groove clearance:
No.1 0.020±0.060 mm (0.0008±0.0024 in.)
No.2 0.015±0.055 mm (0.0006±0.0022 in.)
If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the piston.
C. Inspect piston ring end gap (a) Insert the piston ring into the cylinder bore.
(b) Using a piston, push the piston ring a little beyond thebottom of the ring travel, 105 mm (4.13 in.) from the top
of the cylinder block.
(c) Using a feeler gauge, measure the ring end gap.
Standard ring end gap: No.1 0.250±0.450 mm(0.0098±0.0177 in.)
No.2 0.350±0.600 mm (0.0138±0.0236 in.)
Oil (Side rail) 0.150±0.500 mm
(0.0059±0.0197 in.)
Maximum ring end gap: No.1 1.05 mm (0.0413 in.)
No.2 1.20 mm (0.0472 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.

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.)
C. If necessary, replace connecting rod bushings (a) Using SST and a press, press out the bushing.

(d) Using a pin hole grinder, hole 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 diameter
of the bolt.
Standard diameter: 7.200±7.300 mm
(0.2835±0.2874 in.)
Minimum diameter: 7.00 mm (0.2756 in.)
If the outside diameter is less than minimum, replace the bolt.

INSPECTION OF CRANKSHAFT
1. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT FOR RUNOUT(a) Place the crankshaft on V±blocks.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout at thecenter journal.
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 micr ometer, 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 page EM±136 or 139).
(b) Check each main journal and crank pin for taper and out±of±round as shown.
Maximum taper and out±of±round: 0.02 mm
(0.0008 in.)
If the taper or out±of±round is greater than maximum, re-
place the crankshaft.
