How to Select Piston and Bearing EBS00KNV
DESCRIPTION
*For the service parts, the grade for fitting cannot be selected between a piston pin and a connecting rod.
(Only 0 grade is available.) The information at the shipment from the plant is described as a reference.
●The identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition.
This grade cannot apply to reused parts.
●For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimension accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the
measurement with the values of each selection table.
●For details of the measurement method of each part, the reuse standards and the selection method of the
selective fitting parts, refer to the text.

HOW TO SELECT PISTON
When New Cylinder Block is Used:
●Check the cylinder bore grade on rear left side of cylinder block, and select a piston of the same grade.
●If there is a corrected stamp mark on the cylinder block, use it as
a correct reference.
When Cylinder Block is Reused:
1. Measure the cylinder block bore inner diameter.
2. Determine the bore grade by comparing the measurement with the values under the cylinder bore inner
diameter of the “Piston Selection Table”. Select the piston of the same grade.
Piston Selection Table
Unit: mm (in)
NOTE:
●The piston is available together with piston pin as an assembly.
●The piston pin (piston pin bore) grade is provided only for the parts installed at the plant. For service parts,
no grades can be selected. (Only 0 grade is available.)
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING
When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used:
1. Apply big end inside diameter grade stamped on connecting rod
side face to the row in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection
Table”.

in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table”.
4. Apply the symbol obtained to connecting rod bearing grade table
to select.
When Crankshaft and Connecting Rod are Reused:
1. Measure dimensions of the big end inner diameter of connecting rod and outer diameter of crankshaft pin
individually.
2. Apply the measured dimension to the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table”.
3. The following steps are same as in Step 3 or later in “When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are
