INNER DIAMETER OF MAIN BEARING HOUSING
●Install the main bearing caps with the main bearings removed,
and tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque.
●Using a bore gauge, measure the inner diameter of the main
bearing housing.
●If out of the standard, replace the cylinder block and lower cylin-
der block assembly.
NOTE:
These components cannot be replaced as a single unit because
they were processed together.
PISTON TO CYLINDER BORE CLEARANCE
Inner Diameter of Cylinder Bore
●Using a bore gauge, measure cylinder bore for wear, out-of-
round and taper at 6 different points on each cylinder. (X and Y
directions at A, B and C) (Y is in longitudinal direction of engine)
NOTE:
When determining cylinder bore grade, measure cylinder bore at
B position.
●If the measured value exceeds the limit, or if there are scratches and/or seizure on the cylinder inner wall,
hone or re-bore the cylinder.
●An oversize piston is provided. When using an oversize piston, re-bore the cylinder so that the clearance
of the piston cylinder satisfies the standard.
●When using an oversize piston, use it for all cylinders with oversize piston rings.
Outer Diameter of Piston

Piston to Cylinder Bore Clearance
●Calculate by outer diameter of piston skirt and inner diameter of cylinder (direction X, position B).
(Clearance) = (Inner diameter of cylinder) – (Outer diameter of piston skirt).
●If it exceeds the limit, replace piston/piston pin assembly.
Re-boring Cylinder Bore
1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston-to-bore clearance to piston diameter “A”.
2. Install main bearing caps, and tighten to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be distorted
in final assembly.
3. Cut cylinder bores.
●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 diame-
ter at a time.
4. Hone cylinders to obtain specified piston-to-bore clearance.
5. Measure finished cylinder bore for out-of-round and taper.
●Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
OUTER DIAMETER OF CRANKSHAFT JOURNAL
Measure outer diameter of crankshaft journals.
OUTER DIAMETER OF CRANKSHAFT PIN
Measure outer diameter of crankshaft pin.
OUT-OF-ROUND AND TAPER OF CRANKSHAFT
●Using a micrometer, measure the dimensions at 4 different
points shown in the figure on each journal and pin.
●Out-of-round is indicated by the difference in dimensions
between X and Y at A and B.
●Taper is indicated by the difference in dimension between A and
B at X and Y.Standard : 0.010 - 0.030 mm (0.0004 - 0.0012 in)

CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT
●Place a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals on
the both end of the crankshaft.
●Place a dial gauge straight up on the No. 3 journal.
●While rotating the crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer
on the dial gauge. (Total indicator reading)
CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method of Measurement
●Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod and the
cap, and tighten the connecting rod bolts to the specified torque.
Using a inside micrometer measure the inner diameter of con-
necting rod bearing.
(Oil clearance) = (Inner diameter of connecting rod bearing) –
(Outer diameter of crankshaft pin)
●If out of specifications, check connecting rod big end inner diam-
eter and crankshaft pin outer diameter, and select appropriate
connecting rod bearing to adjust clearance to specifications.
Refer to EM-83, "
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage
●Remove engine oil and dust on the crankshaft pin and the sur-
faces of each bearing completely.
●Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and
place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.
●Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod cap,
and tighten the connecting rod bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Never rotate the crankshaft.
●Remove the connecting rod cap and bearings, and using the
scale on the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is same as that described in “Method of Mea-
surement”.
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method of Measurement
●Install the main bearings to the cylinder block and bearing cap. Measure the main bearing inner diameter
with the bearing cap bolt tightened to the specified torque.
(Oil clearance) = (Inner diameter of main bearing) – (Outer diameter of crankshaft journal)
●If out of specification, check main bearing housing inner diameter and crankshaft journal outer diameter,
and select appropriate main bearing to adjust clearance to specifications. Refer to EM-85, "

MAIN BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT
●When the bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the
specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of bear-
ing must protrude.
●If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.

●Perform only with M10 (0.39 in) bolts.
●Measure outer diameters (d1, d2) at two positions shown in the figure.
●Measure d2 at a point within block A.
●When the value of d1- d2 exceeds the limit (a large difference in
dimensions), replace the bolt with a new one.

Movement Amount in Radial (rotation) Direction
Check the movement amount in the following procedure.
1. Install a bolt to clutch cover mounting hole, and place a torque wrench on the extended line of the flywheel
center line.
●Tighten bolt at a force of 9.8 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 87 in-lb) to keep it from loosening.
2. Put a mating mark on circumferences of the two flywheel
masses without applying any load (Measurement standard
points).
3. Apply a force of 9.8 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 87 in-lb) in each direction,
and mark the movement amount on the mass on the transaxle
side.
4. Measure dimensions of movement amounts A and B on circum-
ference of the flywheel on the transaxle side.
●When measured value is outside the standard, replace fly-
wheel.Standard : 0.45 mm (0.0177 in) or less.
