        Oil 0.10 to 0.40 mm (0.0039 to 0.0157 in.)
        Maximum end gap
        Ring Maximum end gap
        No. 1 0.90 mm (0.0354 in.)
        No. 2 1.36 mm (0.0535 in.)
        Oil 0.75 mm (0.0295 in.)

        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.

  29. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD


    1. A01DZ2ME01

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


      1. Check for bend.

        Maximum bend
        0.03 mm (0.0012 in.) per 100 mm (3.94 in.)

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

      2. A01DWJVE01

        Check for twist.

        Maximum twist
        0.15 mm (0.0059 in.) per 100 mm (3.94 in.)

        If the twist is greater than the maximum, replace the connecting rod.

  30. INSPECT PISTON PIN OIL CLEARANCE


    1. A01DZI8E02

      Inspect the piston pin oil clearance.

      Tech Tips

      There are 3 connecting rod bush sizes, which are indicated by an A, B or C mark on its surface.


      1. Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the connecting rod bush.

        Standard bush inside diameter
        Size Mark Diameter
        A 22.005 to 22.008 mm (0.86633 to 0.86645 in.)
        B 22.008 to 22.011 mm (0.86645 to 0.86657 in.)
        C 22.011 to 22.014 mm (0.86657 to 0.86669 in.)
      2. Subtract the piston pin diameter measurement from the bush inside diameter measurement.

        Standard oil clearance
        0.001 to 0.007 mm (0.00004 to 0.00028 in.)
        Maximum oil clearance
        0.01 mm (0.00039 in.)

        If the oil clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the connecting rod. If necessary, replace the piston and piston pin as a set.

  31. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD BOLT


    1. A01DZB1E03

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the tension portion diameter of the bolt.

      Standard diameter
      7.2 to 7.3 mm (0.283 to 0.287 in.)
      Minimum diameter
      7.0 mm (0.276 in.)

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

  32. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT


    1. A01DWJZE01

      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
        0.03 mm (0.0012 in.)

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

    2. A01DWGUE01

      Inspect the main journals.


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

        Standard journal diameter
        Journal Diameter
        No. 3 59.981 to 59.994 mm (2.3615 to 2.3620 in.)
        Except No. 3 59.987 to 60.000 mm (2.3229 to 2.3622 in.)

        If the diameter is not as specified, check the oil clearance. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.

      2. Check each main journal for taper and out-of-round as shown in the illustration.

        Maximum taper and out-of-round
        0.005 mm (0.0002 in.)

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

    3. A01E1AHE01

      Inspect the crank pin.


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

        Standard diameter
        52.989 to 53.002 mm (2.0862 to 2.0867 in.)

        If the diameter is not as specified, check the oil clearance (see "INSPECT CONNECTING ROD OIL CLEARANCE" procedure). If necessary, replace the crankshaft.

      2. Check each crank pin for taper and out-of-round as shown in the illustration.

        Maximum taper and out-of-round
        0.003 mm (0.0001 in.)

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

  33. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT BEARING CAP SET BOLT


    1. A01DZM4E03

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the minimum diameter of the elongated thread at the measuring point.

      Standard outside diameter
      10.76 to 10.97 mm (0.4236 to 0.4319 in.)
      Minimum outside diameter
      10.66 mm (0.4197 in.)

      If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the crankshaft bearing cap bolt.
