CYLINDER BLOCK INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT NO. 1 OIL NOZZLE SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Check the No. 1 oil nozzle sub-assembly for damage or clogging.

      If there is damage or clogging, replace the No. 1 oil nozzle sub-assembly.

  2. CLEAN CYLINDER BLOCK


    1. Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the top surface of the cylinder block.

    2. Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylinder block.

  3. INSPECT CYLINDER BORE


    1. A01QQM8C01
      *a Thrust Direction
      *b Axial Direction
      *c Upper
      *d Center
      A01QRKS Front

      Using a cylinder gauge, measure the cylinder bore diameter at positions (A) and (B) in the thrust and axial directions.

      Reference Value (New Parts)
      Item Specified Condition
      STD 84.000 to 84.002 mm (3.30708 to 3.30716 in.)
      O/S 0.25 84.250 to 84.252 mm (3.36192 to 3.31700 in.)

  4. CLEAN PISTON


    1. Using a gasket scraper, remove the carbon from the piston top.

    2. Using a groove cleaning tool or broken ring, clean the piston ring grooves.

    3. Using solvent and a brush, thoroughly clean the piston sub-assembly.

      Note

      Do not use a wire brush.

  5. INSPECT PISTON DIAMETER


    1. A01QSHXC01
      *a 12 mm (0.472 in.)

      Using a micrometer, measure the piston diameter at right angles to the piston center line where the position is 12 mm (0.472 in.) from the bottom edge of the piston sub-assembly.

      Reference Value (New Parts)
      Item Specified Condition
      STD 83.950 to 83.970 mm (3.3051 to 3.3058 in.)
      O/S 0.25 84.200 to 84.220 mm (3.3149 to 3.3157 in.)

  6. INSPECT PISTON OIL CLEARANCE


    1. Measure the cylinder bore diameter in the thrust direction.

    2. Subtract the piston diameter measurement from the cylinder bore diameter measurement.

      Reference Value (New Parts)
      Item Specified Condition
      New Piston 0.03 to 0.17 mm (0.00118 to 0.00669 in.)
      Used Piston 0.20 to 0.25 mm (0.00787 to 0.00984 in.)
      Maximum oil clearance
      0.25 mm (0.00984 in.)

      If the oil clearance is more than the maximum, replace the piston with pin sub-assembly.

  7. INSPECT RING GROOVE CLEARANCE


    1. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between a new piston ring and the wall of the ring groove.

      Standard Ring Groove Clearance
      Ring Specified Condition
      No. 1 Compression Ring 0.07 to 0.11 mm (0.00275 to 0.00433 in.)
      No. 2 Compression Ring

      If the clearance is more than the standard, replace the piston with pin sub-assembly.

  8. INSPECT PISTON RING END GAP


    1. Insert the piston ring into the cylinder bore.

    2. Using a feeler gauge, measure the end gap.

      Standard End Gap
      Ring Specified Condition
      No. 1 Compression Ring 0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.00590 to 0.00984 in.)
      No. 2 Compression Ring 0.30 to 0.45 mm (0.0118 to 0.0177 in.)

      If the end gap is more than the maximum, replace the piston ring. If the end gap is more than the maximum even with a new piston ring set, replace the piston with pin sub-assembly.

  9. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE


    1. Install the crankshaft bearing.

    2. Clean each main journal and bearing.

    3. Check each main journal and bearing for pitting and scratches.

      If the journal or bearing is damaged, replace the crankshaft bearing.

    4. Place the crankshaft assembly on the cylinder block.

    5. A01QT8OC01
      *a Plastigage

      Lay a strip of Plastigage across each journal.

    6. Install the crankshaft bearing caps.

      Note

      Do not turn the crankshaft assembly.

    7. Remove the crankshaft bearing cap.

    8. A01QPFO

      Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.

      Standard oil clearance
      0.023 to 0.054 mm (0.000906 to 0.00213 in.)

      Tech Tips

      Check the code marks on the upper crankshaft bearing side and lower crankshaft bearing side, and then select the bearing size.
