  7. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. A01KI7D

      Using a rod aligner and feeler gauge, check the connecting rod alignment.


      1. Check for bend.

        Maximum bend
        0.05 mm (0.0020 in.) per 100 mm (3.94 in.)

        If bend is greater than maximum, replace the connecting rod sub-assembly.

      2. A01KHDV

        Check for twist

        Maximum twist

      If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the bolt.

  10. BORE CYLINDER

    Tech Tips


    • Bore all the 4 cylinders for the O/S piston outside diameter.

    • Replace all the piston rings with ones to match the O/S pistons.


    1. Keep 4 new O/S pistons.

      O/S 0.50 piston diameter
      99.950 - 99.980 mm (3.9350 - 3.9362 in.)
    2. A01KED3E01
      Text in Illustration
      *a Front Mark (Arrow)
      *b Size Mark
      *c Distance

      Using a micrometer, measure the piston diameter at right angles to the piston pin center line, the indicated distance from the piston head.

      Distance
      61.27 - 61.33 mm (2.4122 - 2.4146 in.)
    3. Calculate the amount each cylinder is to be rebored as follows:

      Size to be rebored = P + C - H
      P = Piston diameter
      C = Piston clearance: 0.040 - 0.060 mm (0.0016 - 0.0024 in.)
      H = Allowance for honing: 0.02mm(0.0008 in.) or less
    4. Bore and hone the cylinders to calculated dimensions.

      Maximum honing
      0.02 mm (0.0008 in.)

      Note

      Excess honing will destroy the finished roundness.

  11. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT


    1. A01KHUA

      Inspect for circle runout.


      1. Place the crankshaft on V-blocks.

      2. Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout at the center journal.

        Maximum circle runout
        0.06 mm (0.0024 in.)

        If the circle runout is greater than maximum, replace the crankshaft.

    2. A01KEUE

      Inspect the main journals and crank pins.


      1. Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of each main journal and crank pin.

        Main journal diameter
        STD 61.985 - 62.000 mm (2.4403 - 2.4409 in.)
        U/S 0.25 61.745 - 61.755 mm (2.4309 - 2.4313 in.)

        Crank pin diameter
        STD 54.988 - 55.000 mm (2.1649 - 2.1654 in.)
        U/S 0.25 54.745 - 54.755 mm (2.1553 - 2.1557 in.)
        U/S 0.50 54.495 - 54.505 mm (2.1455 - 2.1459 in.)

        If the diameter is not as specified, check the oil clearance (See steps Click here and Click here). If necessary, grind or replace the crankshaft.

      2. 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 and out-of-round is greater than maximum, replace the crankshaft.

    3. If necessary, grind and hone the main journals and/or crank pins.


      1. Grind and hone the main journals and/or crank pins to the finished undersized diameter (See procedure in step (b) above).

      2. Install new main journal and/or crankshaft pin undersized bearing.
