      Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the warpage of the surface that contacts the cylinder head gasket.

      Maximum warpage
      0.05 mm (0.00197 in.)

      If the warpage is more than the maximum, replace the cylinder block sub-assembly.

    2. Using a vernier caliper, measure the outer diameter within range B shown in the illustration at several locations.

      Tech Tips


      • Perform the measurement within range B at several locations.

      • If the threads of the connecting rod bolt are damaged, replace the bolt with a new one.

    3. Calculate the difference between the measurement at position A and position B.

      Minimum diameter
      The outer diameter difference is 0.15 mm (0.00591 in.)

      Tech Tips


      • Outer Diameter Difference = Position A Outer Diameter - Position B Outer Diameter (Smallest Value)

      • If the outer diameter is below the minimum, the engine may be damaged.

        Therefore, replace the connecting rod bolt with a new one.
