CYLINDER BLOCK
The cylinder block is made of cast aluminum alloy and
has 4 cylinders arranged “In-Line”. A cylindrical cast
iron sleeve is installed in each cylinder.
CRANKSHAFT AND MAIN
BEARINGS
A monoblock casting crankshaft is supported by
5 main bearings which are of precision insert type.
Four crank pins on the crankshaft are positioned 180
apart.
PISTONS, RINGS, PISTON PINS AND
CONNECTING RODS
The piston is cast aluminum alloy, and has two com-
pression rings and one oil ring.
Among two compression rings (top and 2nd rings),
the outer surface of the top ring is treated with hard
chromium for improvement in abrasion resistance.
The oil ring consists of two rails and one spacer. The
piston pin is offset 0.5 mm towards the major thrust
side.This allows a gradual change in thrust pressure
against the cylinder wall as the piston travels its path.
Pins, made of chromium steel, have a floating fit in the
pistons and in the connecting rods. The connecting
rods are made of forged steel, and the rod bearings
are of precision insert type.
CYLINDER HEAD AND VALVE TRAIN
The cylinder head is made of aluminum casting. The
supporting part of the camshaft is an independent cap
type. The combustion chamber has 4 valves and uses
the center plug type pent roof shape for higher intake
and exhaust efficiency.
As the intake side rocker arm is end pivot type, it
swings according to the camshaft movement to open
and close the intake valve.
On the other hand, the exhaust side rocker arm is see-
saw type. It swings with the rocker arm shaft as its
supporting point and according to the camshaft
movement to open and close the exhaust valve.

INSPECTION
Crankshaft
Crankshaft runout
Using a dial gauge, measure runout at center journal. Rotate crank-
shaft slowly. If runout exceeds its limit, replace crankshaft.
Limit on runout: 0.06 mm (0.0023 in.)
Crankshaft thrust play
Measure this play with crankshaft set in cylinder block in the normal
manner, that is, with thrust bearing (1) and journal bearing caps
installed.
Use a dial gauge to read displacement in axial (thrust) direction of
crankshaft.
If its limit is exceeded, replace thrust bearing with new standard one
or oversize one to obtain standard thrust play.

Out-of-round and taper (uneven wear) of journals
An unevenly worn crankshaft journal shows up as a difference in
diameter at a cross section or along its length (or both). This differ-
ence, if any, is determined by taking micrometer readings.
If any one of journals is badly damaged or if amount of uneven wear
in the sense explained above exceeds its limit, regrind or replace
crankshaft.
Limit on out-of-round and taper: 0.01 mm (0.0004 in.)

2) Next, check bearing cap bore diameter without bearing. On mat-
ing surface of cylinder block, four alphabets are stamped as
shown in figure.
Three kinds of alphabets (“A”, “B” and “C”) represent the follow-
ing cap bore diameters.

A49.000 – 49.006 mm
(1.9291 – 1.9294 in.)

(1.9294 – 1.9296 in.)
C49.012 – 49.018 mm
(1.9296 – 1.9298 in.)
The first, second, third, fourth and fifth (left to right) stamped al-
phabets reperesent cap bore diameters of bearing caps “1”, “2”,
“3”, “4” and “5”, respectively.
For example, in figure, the first (leftmost) alphabet “B” indicates
that cap bore dia. of bearing cap “1” is within 49.006 – 49.012
mm, and the fifth (rightmost) alphabet “A” indicates that cap bore
dia. of cap “5” is within 49.000 – 49.006 mm.
3) There are five kinds of standard bearings differing in thickness.
To distinguish them, they are painted in the following colors at
the position as indicated in figure.
Each color indicates the following thickness at the center of
bearing.

4) From numerals stamped on crank webs (1) of No.2 and No.3 cyl-
inders and the alphabets stamped on mating surface of cylinder
block, determine new standard bearing to be installed to journal,
by referring to table given below.
For example, if numeral stamped on crank web is “1” and alpha-
bet stamped on mating surface is “B”, install a new standard
bearing painted in “Black” to its journal.

5) Using gaging plastic (1), check bearing clearance with newly se-
lected standard bearing.
If clearance still exceeds its limit, use next thicker bearing and
recheck clearance.
6) When replacing crankshaft or cylinder block due to any reason,
select new standard bearings to be installed by referring to nu-
merals stamped on new crankshaft or alphabets stamped on
mating surface of new cylinder block.
UNDERSIZE BEARING (0.25 mm):

0.25 mm undersize bearing is available, in five kinds varying in
thickness.
To distinguish them, each bearing is painted in the following col-
ors at such position as indicated in figure.
Each color represents the following thicknesses at the center of
bearing.
