ENGINE UNIT
Factory installed parts grading:
• Only grade “0”.
Unit: mm (in)
*: After installing in connecting rod
CYLINDER BLOCK DISTORTION
• Remove any oil, scale, gasket, sealant and carbon deposits from the cylinder block surface.
CAUTION:
Do not allow any debris to enter engine oil or engine coolant passages.
• Measure the distortion on the cylinder block upper face at some
different points in six directions with straightedge and feeler gauge.
• If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder block.
MAIN BEARING HOUSING INNER DIAMETER
• Install lower cylinder block without installing main bearings, and
tighten lower cylinder block bolts to the specified torque. Refer to
EM-103, "Disassembly and Assembly"
for the tightening proce-
dure.
• Measure the inner diameter of main bearing housing with bore
gauge.
• If out of the standard, replace cylinder block and lower cylinder
block as assembly.
NOTE:
Cylinder block cannot be replaced as a single part, because it is
machined together with lower cylinder block.
PISTON TO CYLINDER BORE CLEARANCE
Cylinder Bore Inner Diameter
• Using bore gauge, measure cylinder bore for wear, out-of-round
and taper at six different points on each cylinder. [(X) and (Y) direc-
tions at (A), (B) and (C)] [(X) is in longitudinal direction of engine].
