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

      *a Thrust Direction
      *b Axial Direction
      *c Upper
      *d Center
      A004NPW 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 78.000 to 78.002 mm (3.0708 to 3.0709 in.)
      O/S 0.25 78.250 to 78.252 mm (3.0807 to 3.0808 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. A004RWEE02
      Text in Illustration
      *a 13 mm (0.511 in.)

      Using a micrometer, measure the piston diameter at right angles to the piston center line where the position is 13 mm (0.511 in.) from the bottom edge of the piston sub-assembly.

      Reference Value (New Parts)
      Item Specified Condition
      STD 77.950 to 77.970 mm (3.0689 to 3.0697 in.)
      O/S 0.25 78.200 to 78.220 mm (3.0787 to 3.0795 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
      More than 0.25 mm (0.00984 in.)

      If the oil clearance is more than the standard, 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 0.015 to 0.070 mm (0.00059 to 0.00276 in.)
      No. 2 Compression Ring 0.015 to 0.060 mm (0.00059 to 0.00236 in.)
      Oil Ring Rail 0.04 to 0.10 mm (0.00157 to 0.00394 in.)

      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 0.20 to 0.40 mm (0.00787 to 0.0157 in.)
      No. 2 Compression Ring 0.30 to 0.55 mm (0.0118 to 0.0217 in.)
      Oil Ring Rail 0.10 to 0.40 mm (0.00394 to 0.0157 in.)
      Maximum End Gap
      Ring Specified Condition
      No. 1 Compression Ring 0.95 mm (0.0374 in.)
      No. 2 Compression Ring 1.06 mm (0.0417 in.)
      Oil Ring Rail 0.82 mm (0.0322 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 Click here.

    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.

      *a Plastigage

      Lay a strip of Plastigage across each journal.

    6. Install the crankshaft bearing caps Click here.

      Note

      Do not turn the crankshaft assembly.

    7. Remove the crankshaft bearing cap.

    8. A004PUX

      Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.

      Standard oil clearance
      0.023 to 0.054 mm (0.000905 to 0.00212 in.)

      Tech Tips

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