CRANKSHAFT END PLAY

• Measure the clearance between thrust bearings and crankshaft

arm when crankshaft is moved fully forward or backward with a dial
indicator (A).

• If it exceeds the standard, replace thrust bearings, and measure

again. If it still exceeds the standard, also replace crankshaft.

CRANKSHAFT PIN JOURNAL DIAMETER 

• Measure the outer diameter of crankshaft pin journal with a

micrometer (A).

• If it exceeds the standard, measure the connecting rod bearing oil

clearance. Refer to “CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEAR-
ANCE”.

CYLINDER BLOCK

• Measure the outer diameter of crankshaft main journals with a micrometer.

• If it exceeds the standard, measure the main bearing oil clearance. Refer to “MAIN BEARING OIL CLEAR-

ANCE”.

CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE

• Measure the side clearance between connecting rod and crank-

shaft arm with a feeler gauge (A).

• If it exceeds the standard, replace connecting rod, and measure

again. If it still exceeds the standard, also replace crankshaft.

CONNECTING ROD BIG END DIAMETER

• Install connecting rod cap without connecting rod bearing installed,

and tightening connecting rod cap bolts to the specified torque.
Refer to 

EM-447, "Disassembly and Assembly"

.

• Measure the inner diameter of connecting rod big end with an

inside micrometer.

• If it exceeds the standard, replace connecting rod assembly.

CONNECTING ROD BUSHING OIL CLEARANCE

Connecting Rod Bushing Inner Diameter

Measure the inner diameter of connecting rod bushing with an inside
micrometer (A).

Piston Pin Outer Diameter

Measure the outer diameter of piston pin with a micrometer (A).

(Connecting rod bushing oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bushing inner diameter) – (Piston pin outer diame-
ter)

• If it exceeds the standard, replace connecting rod assembly and/or piston and piston pin assembly.
• If replacing piston and piston pin assembly. Refer to “PISTON PROTRUSION”.

PISTON PROTRUSION

Measure the protrusion of piston with the following procedure:

1.

Set piston at a point close to the TDC. 

2.

Set the dial indicator stand set [commercial service tool:
KV113B0040 (Mot.251-01)] (B) and [commercial service tool:
KV113B0050 (Mot.252-01)] (A) at the location as shown in the
figure. 

3.

Set the indicator scale to “0” where the piston protrusion is max-
imized.

4.

Move the dial indicator stand so that the tip of dial indicator can
contact the cylinder block. Read the difference.

5.

If measured value is out of the standard, replace piston. Select a
piston in “Piston Protrusion Grade”.

PISTON TO PISTON PIN OIL CLEARANCE

Piston Pin Hole Diameter 

Measure the inner diameter of piston pin hole with an inside
micrometer (A).

CYLINDER BLOCK

Measure the outer diameter of piston pin with a micrometer (A).

Piston to Piston Pin Oil Clearance

(Piston to piston pin oil clearance) = (Piston pin hole diameter) – (Piston pin outer diameter)

• If it exceeds the standard, replace piston and piston pin an assembly. 
NOTE:
Piston is available together with piston pin as assembly.

PISTON RING SIDE CLEARANCE

• Measure the side clearance of piston ring (1) and piston ring

groove with a feeler gauge (C).

• If it exceeds the standard, replace piston ring, and measure again.

If it still exceeds the standard, also replace piston.

PISTON RING END GAP

• Check that cylinder bore inner diameter is within specification. Refer to “PISTON TO CYLINDER BORE

CLEARANCE”.

• Lubricate with new engine oil to piston (1) and piston ring (2), and

then insert (A) piston ring until middle of cylinder with piston, and
measure piston ring end gap with a feeler gauge (B).

• If it exceeds the standard, replace piston ring, and measure again.

If it still exceeds the standard, replace cylinder block and piston
rings.

CYLINDER BLOCK TOP SURFACE DISTORTION

• Using a scraper, remove gasket on the cylinder block surface, and also remove engine oil, scale, carbon, or

other contamination. 

CAUTION:

Be careful not to allow gasket flakes to enter engine oil or engine coolant passages.
