Using a piston, push the piston ring a little beyond the bottom of the ring travel, 140 mm (5.51 in.) from the top of the cylinder block.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the end gap.
| Standard end gap | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Maximum end gap | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If the end gap is greater than the maximum, replace the piston ring.
If the end gap is greater than the maximum, even with a new piston ring, rebore all the 4 cylinders or replace the cylinder block.
INSPECT CONNECTING ROD SUB-ASSEMBLY
Using a rod aligner and feeler gauge, check the connecting rod alignment.
Check for bend.
| Maximum bend |
|---|
| 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.) per 100 mm (3.94 in.) |
If bend is greater than the maximum, replace the connecting rod sub-assembly.
Check for twist
| Maximum twist |
|---|
| 0.15 mm (0.0059 in.) per 100 mm (3.94 in.) |
If twist is greater than the maximum, replace the connecting rod sub-assembly.
INSPECT PISTON PIN OIL CLEARANCE
Tech Tips
When replacing the piston and pin as a set with a supply part, there are a number of piston diameter sizes to choose from, but there is only one size of piston pin diameter.
Inspect the piston pin oil clearance.
Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the connecting rod bush.
| Bush inside diameter |
|---|
| 29.008 to 29.020 mm (1.1420 to 1.1425 in.) |
Subtract the piston pin diameter measurement (See step 66) from the bush inside diameter measurement.
| Standard oil clearance |
|---|
| 0.004 to 0.012 mm (0.0002 to 0.0005 in.) |
| Maximum oil clearance |
|---|
| 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.) |
If the oil clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the bush.
If necessary, replace the piston and piston pin as a set.
REMOVE CONNECTING ROD SMALL END BUSH
Using SST and a press, press out the bush.
INSPECT CONNECTING ROD BOLT
Using vernier calipers, measure the tension portion diameter of the connecting rod bolt.
| Standard diameter |
|---|
| 8.400 to 8.600 mm (0.3307 to 0.3386 in.) |
| Minimum diameter |
|---|
| 8.20 mm (0.3228 in.) |
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the bolt.
BORE CYLINDER
Tech Tips
Bore all the 4 cylinders to fit the O/S piston outside diameter.
Replace all the piston rings with ones to match the O/S pistons.
Prepare 4 new O/S pistons.
| O/S 0.50 piston diameter |
|---|
| 99.950 to 99.980 mm (3.9350 to 3.9362 in.) |
Using a micrometer, measure the piston diameter at right angles to the piston pin center line where the distance from the piston head is as specified.
| Distance |
|---|
| 61.27 to 61.33 mm (2.4122 to 2.4146 in.) |
Calculate the amount each cylinder is to be rebored as follows:
Tech Tips
Size to be rebored = P + C - H
P = Piston diameter
C = Piston clearance: 0.040 to 0.060 mm (0.0016 to 0.0024 in.)
H = Allowance for honing: 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.) or less
Bore and hone the cylinders to the calculated dimensions.
| Maximum honing |
|---|
| 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.) |
Note
Excess honing will destroy the finished roundness.
INSPECT CRANKSHAFT
Inspect for circle runout.
Place the crankshaft on V-blocks.
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 the maximum, replace the crankshaft.
Inspect the main journals and crank pins.
Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of each main journal and crank pin.
| Main journal diameter | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Crank pin diameter | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If the diameter is not as specified, check the oil clearance (See steps 50 and 54). If necessary, grind or replace the crankshaft.
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 the maximum, replace the crankshaft.
If necessary, grind and hone the main journals and/or crank pins.
Grind and hone the main journals and/or crank pins to the finished undersized diameter (See procedure in step (b) above).
Install new main journal and/or crankshaft pin undersized bearing.
