• Measure the deflection of flywheel contact surface to torque with a

suitable tool (A).

• Measure the deflection at 210 mm (8.27 in) diameter.

• If measured value is out of the standard, replace flywheel.

• If a trace of burn or discoloration is found on the surface, clean it

with sandpaper.

CAUTION:

When measuring, keep magnetic fields (such as dial indicator

stand) away from signal plate of the rear end of crankshaft.

Limit  : 0.45 mm (0.0177 in) or less.

HOW TO SELECT PISTON AND BEARING

Description

INFOID:0000000009266679

• 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 for the appropriate part.

Connecting Rod Bearing

INFOID:0000000009266680

WHEN NEW CONNECTING ROD AND CRANKSHAFT ARE USED

1. Apply connecting rod big end diameter grade stamped (C) on

connecting rod side face to the row in the “Connecting Rod

Bearing Selection Table”.

2. Apply crankshaft pin journal diameter grade stamped on crank-

shaft front side to the column in the “Connecting Rod Bearing

Selection Table”.

3. Read the symbol at the cross point of selected row and column in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection

Table”.

4. Apply the symbol obtained to the “Connecting Rod Bearing Grade Table” to select connecting rod bearing.

WHEN CONNECTING ROD AND CRANKSHAFT ARE REUSED

1. Measure the dimensions of the connecting rod big end diameter and crankshaft pin journal diameter indi-

vidually. Refer to 

EM-103, "Inspection"

.

Undersize Bearings Usage Guide

• When the specified connecting rod bearing oil clearance is not obtained with standard size connecting rod

bearings, use undersize (US) bearings.

• When using undersize (US) bearing, measure the connecting rod bearing inner diameter with bearing

installed, and grind the crankshaft pin so that the connecting rod bearing oil clearance satisfies the standard.

HOW TO SELECT PISTON AND BEARING

In grinding crankshaft pin to use undersize bearings, keep the

fillet R (A) [0.8 - 1.2 mm (0.031 - 0.047 in)].

Main Bearing

INFOID:0000000009266681

HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING

When New Cylinder Block and Crankshaft Are Used

1. “Main Bearing Selection Table” rows correspond to main bearing

housing grade on left side of cylinder block.

• If there is a corrected stamp mark (B) on cylinder block, use it

as a correct reference.

2. Apply main journal diameter grade stamped on crankshaft front

side to column in the “Main Bearing Selection Table”.

3. Read the symbol at the cross point of selected row and column in the “Main Bearing Selection Table”.
4. Apply the symbol obtained to the “Main Bearing Grade Table” to select main bearing.

NOTE:

Service part is available as a set of both upper and lower.

When Cylinder Block and Crankshaft Are Reused

1. Measure the dimensions of the cylinder block main bearing housing inner diameter and crankshaft main

journal diameter individually. Refer to 

EM-103, "Inspection"

.

2. Apply the measured dimension to the “Main Bearing Selection Table”.
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of selected row and column in the “Main Bearing Selection Table”.
4. Apply the symbol obtained to the “Main Bearing Grade Table” to select main bearing.
