CYLINDER BLOCK INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
INSPECT CYLINDER BLOCK FOR WARPAGE
-
Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, check the surface which contacts the cylinder head gasket for warpage.
Maximum Warpage
0.05 mm (0.00197 in.)
If the warpage is more than the maximum, replace the cylinder block sub-assembly.
-
INSPECT CYLINDER BORE
-
*a
Axial Direction
*b
Thrust Direction

Front
Using a cylinder gauge, measure the cylinder bore diameter at position (A) in the thrust and axial directions.
Standard Diameter
75.000 to 75.018 mm (2.95275 to 2.95346 in.)
If the average diameter of the 2 positions is more than the maximum, replace the cylinder block sub-assembly.
-
INSPECT PISTON
-
Using a gasket scraper, scrape off any carbon on the piston top.
-
Using a groove cleaning tool or a broken ring, clean the piston ring grooves.
-
Using a brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the piston.
Note:Do not use a wire brush.
-
Using a micrometer, measure the piston diameter at a right angle to the piston center line where the distance from the bottom of the piston is as specified.

Diameter
A
74.969 to 74.979 mm (2.95153 to 2.95192 in.)
B
74.944 to 74.952 mm (2.95055 to 2.95086 in.)
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the piston sub-assembly.

INSPECT PISTON PIN OIL CLEARANCE
-
Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the piston pin hole.
Standard Piston Pin Hole Inside Diameter
17.008 to 17.014 mm (0.66960 to 0.66984 in.)
-
Using a micrometer, measure the piston pin diameter.

If the diameter and length are not as specified, replace the piston sub-assembly.
-
Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the connecting rod small end bush.
Standard Connecting Rod Small End Bush Inside Diameter
16.96 to 16.976 mm (0.66772 to 0.66835 in.)
If the diameter is not as specified, replace the connecting rod.
-
INSPECT CONNECTING ROD
-
Inspect the connecting rod.

-
INSPECT CRANKSHAFT
Inspect for runout.
Clean the crank journal.
Place the crankshaft on V-blocks.
-
Using a dial indicator and V-blocks, measure the runout as shown in the illustration.
Maximum Runout
0.007 mm (0.000276 in.)
If the runout is more than the maximum, replace the crankshaft.
-

Measurement Area
Inspect the main journals.
Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of each main journal.
Standard Main Journal Diameter
41.984 to 42.000 mm (1.65291 to 1.65354 in.)
Tip:The main journal diameter is the average diameter of the 3 measurements points (A), (B) and (C).
Each measurement point (A), (B) and (C) is the average diameter of the 3 measurement points (D), (E) and (F) which are 120° apart.
