Never rotate crankshaft.

• Remove lower cylinder block and bearings, and using the scale on

the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width. 
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is
same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”.

MAIN BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT

• When lower cylinder block is removed after being tightened to the

specified torque with main bearings (1) installed, the tip end of
bearing must protrude. Refer to 

EM-115, "Disassembly and

Assembly"

 for the tightening procedure.

• If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.

CONNECTING ROD BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT

• When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tightened

to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings (1) installed,
the tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to 

EM-115, "Disassem-

bly and Assembly"

 for the tightening procedure.

• If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.

LOWER CYLINDER BLOCK BOLT OUTER DIAMETER

• Measure the outer diameters (c), (d) at two positions as shown in

the figure.

• If reduction appears in (a) range, regard it (c).

• If it exceeds the limit (large difference in dimensions), replace

lower cylinder block bolt with new one.

CYLINDER BLOCK

1.

Measure the outer diameters [(a), (b) and (c)] at the position
shown in the figure.

2.

Obtain a mean value (d) of (a) and (b).

3.

Subtract (c) from (d).

4.

If it exceeds the limit (large difference in dimensions), replace the bolt with new one.

DRIVE PLATE

• Check drive plate and signal plate for deformation or damage.

CAUTION:

• Never disassemble drive plate.
• Never place drive plate with signal plate facing down.
• When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or

scratch it. 

• Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from becom-

ing magnetized.

• If anything is found, replace drive plate.

OIL JET

• Check nozzle for deformation and damage.
• Blow compressed air from nozzle, and check for clogs.
• If it is not satisfied, clean or replace oil jet.

OIL JET RELIEF VALVE

• Using a clean plastic stick, press check valve in oil jet relief valve.

Check that valve moves smoothly with proper reaction force.

• If it is not satisfied, replace oil jet relief valve.

HOW TO SELECT PISTON AND BEARING

Description

INFOID:0000000003139150

 *: For the service parts, the grade for fitting cannot be selected between piston pin and connecting rod. (Only “0” grade is available.) The
information at the shipment from the plant is described as a reference.

• The identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition.

This grade cannot apply to reused parts.

• For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimension accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the

measurement with the values of each selection table.

• For details of the measurement method of each part, the reuse standards and the selection method of the

selective fitting parts, refer to the text.

WHEN NEW CYLINDER BLOCK IS USED

Check the cylinder bore grade (“1”, “2” or “3”) on rear side of cylinder
block, and select piston of the same grade.

NOTE:
Piston is available with piston pin as a set for the service part. (Only “0” grade piston pin is available.)

WHEN NEW CYLINDER BLOCK IS REUSED

1.

Measure the cylinder bore inner diameter. Refer to

HOW TO SELECT PISTON AND BEARING

2.

Determine the bore grade by comparing the measurement with
the values under the cylinder bore inner diameter of the “PIS-
TON SELECTION TABLE”.

3.

Select piston of the same grade.
