INSPECTION

CYLINDER BLOCK

Visually check for cracks and damage. Especially, inspect the important parts by means of red lead check.

Check the oil passages for clogging.

Inspect the cylinder block surface that mates with cylinder head for warping by using a straight edge, and correct by grinding if necessary.

Warping limit:

0.025 mm (0.00098 in)

Grinding limit:

0.1 mm (0.004 in)

Standard height of cylinder block:

201.0 mm (7.91 in)

CYLINDER AND PISTON

The cylinder bore size is stamped on the cylinder block’s front upper surface.

Note
Measurement should be performed at a temperature of 20°C (68°F).

Standard sized pistons are classified into two grades, “A” and “B”. These grades should be used as guide lines in selecting a standard piston.


Standard diameter:

A: 99.505 — 99.515 mm (3.9175 — 3.9179 in)

B: 99.495 — 99.505 mm (3.9171 — 3.9175 in)

How to measure the inner diameter of each cylinder:

Measure the inner diameter of each cylinder in both the thrust and piston pin directions at the heights as shown in the figure, using a cylinder bore gauge.

Note

Measurement should be performed at a temperature of 20°C (68°F).


Taper:

Standard

0.015 mm (0.0006 in)

Out-of-roundness:

Standard

0.010 mm (0.0004 in)

10 mm (0.39 in)

H2

45 mm (1.77 in)

H3

80 mm (3.15 in)

H4

115 mm (4.53 in)



When the piston is to be replaced due to general or cylinder wear, determine a suitable sized piston by measuring the piston clearance.

How to measure the outer diameter of each piston:

Measure the outer diameter of each piston at the height as shown in the figure. (Thrust direction)

Note

Measurement should be performed at a temperature of 20°C (68°F).


Piston grade point H:

37.0 mm (1.457 in)

Standard

A: 99.505 — 99.515 mm (3.9175 — 3.9179 in)

0.50 mm (0.0197 in) oversize

99.995 — 100.015 mm (3.9368 — 3.9376 in)


Calculate the clearance between cylinder and piston.

Note

Measurement should be performed at a temperature of 20°C (68°F).


Cylinder to piston clearance at 20°C (68°F):

Standard

−0.010 — 0.010 mm (−0.00039 — 0.00039 in)

Boring and honing

If the value of taper, out-of-roundness, or cylinder-to-piston clearance measured exceeds the standard value or if there is any damage on the cylinder wall, rebore it to use an oversize piston.

Important

When any of the cylinders needs reboring, all other cylinders must be bored at the same time, and use oversize pistons. Do not perform boring on one cylinder only. Nor use an oversize piston for one cylinder only.


If the cylinder inner diameter exceeds limit after boring and honing, replace the cylinder block.

Limit of cylinder inner diameter:

100.015 mm (3.9376 in)

Note

Immediately after reboring, the cylinder diameter may differ from its real diameter due to temperature rise. Thus, pay attention when measuring the cylinder diameter.


Limit of cylinder boring:

0.5 mm (0.020 in)

PISTON AND PISTON PIN

Check the pistons and piston pins for damage, cracks and wear, and the piston ring grooves for wear and damage. Replace if defective.

Measure the piston-to-cylinder clearance at each cylinder. If any of the clearances is not within the standard value, replace the piston. Or bore the cylinder to use an oversize piston.

Make sure that the piston pin can be inserted into the piston pin hole with a thumb at 20°C (68°F). Replace if defective.

Clearance between piston hole and piston pin:

Standard

0.004 — 0.008 mm (0.0002 — 0.0003 in)



Check the snap ring installation groove (A) on the piston for burr. If necessary, remove burr from the groove so that the piston pin can lightly move.


Check the piston pin snap ring for distortion, cracks and wear.

PISTON RING

If the piston ring is broken, damaged or worn, or if its tension is insufficient, or when the piston is replaced, replace the piston ring with a new one of the same size as the piston.

Important
Mark is displayed on the end of top and second rings. When installing the rings to the piston, face these marks upward.

Oil ring consists of the upper rail, expander and lower rail. Be careful about the direction of rail when installing the oil ring to piston.
