Cylinder and Piston
CYLINDER BLOCK & PISTON1) Visually inspect to make sure that there are no cracks, scratches or other damage.
2) Use liquid penetrant tester on the important sections to check for fissures.
3) Check that there are no traces of gas leaking or water leaking on the gasket attachment surface.
4) Check the oil passages for clogging.
5) Check for warpage of mating surfaces of the cylinder block that contacts cylinder head using a straight edge and thickness gauge. If it exceeds the limit, correct the surface by grinding it with a surface grinder or replace the cylinder block.
NOTE:
Measurement should be performed at a temperature of 20°C (68°F).
Cylinder block warpage:
Limit
0.025 mm (0.00098 in)
Grinding limit of cylinder block:
To 204.9 mm (8.067 in)
Height of cylinder block:
Standard
205.0 mm (8.071 in)
6) Using a cylinder bore gauge, check the inner diameter of cylinder liner, cylindricality, out-of-roundness. If it is not within the standard, perform boring and honing, or replace the cylinder block and piston as a set. For boring and honing procedure, refer to step 8).
NOTE:
- Measurement should be performed at a temperature of 20°C (68°F).
- Measure the inner diameter of each cylinder liner in both the thrust and piston pin directions at the heights as shown in the figure.
- The cylinder bore size mark is stamped on the upper face of the cylinder block.
Inner diameter of cylinder liner:
Cylinder bore size mark A
Standard
84.005 - 84.015 mm (3.3073 - 3.3077 in)
Cylinder bore size mark B
Standard
83.995 - 84.005 mm (3.3069 - 3.3073 in)
Cylindricality of cylinder liner:
Limit
0.015 mm (0.0006 in)
Out-of-roundness of cylinder liner:
Limit
0.010 mm (0.0004 in)
7) Check the clearance between cylinder liner and piston. Check the clearance between cylinder liner and piston by measuring the inner diameter of cylinder liner and the outer diameter of piston respectively.
NOTE:
For the measurement of the inner diameter of cylinder liner, refer to step 6).
(1) Check the outer diameter of piston with a micrometer. If it is not within the standard, replace the piston.
NOTE:
- Measurement should be performed at a temperature of 20°C (68°F).
- Measure the outer diameter of each piston in thrust direction at the height as shown in the figure.
- Standard sized pistons are classified into two grades, "A" and "B". These grades should be used as guide lines in selecting a standard piston.
- If the piston is replaced, check the clearance between cylinder liner and piston in the step (2), and select a suitable sized piston.
Piston grade point H:
38.0 mm (1.50 in)
Piston outer diameter:
Standard size (grade A)
Standard
83.975 - 83.985 mm (3.3061 - 3.3065 in)
Standard size (grade B)
Standard
83.965 - 83.975 mm (3.3057 - 3.3061 in)
0.25 mm (0.0098 in) oversize
Standard
84.215 - 84.235 mm (3.3155 - 3.3163 in)
0.50 mm (0.0197 in) oversize
Standard
84.465 - 84.485 mm (3.3254 - 3.3262 in)
(2) Calculate the clearance between cylinder liner and piston. If it is not within the standard, perform boring and honing, or replace the cylinder block and piston as a set. For boring and honing procedure, refer to step 8).
Clearance between cylinder liner and piston:
Standard
0.020 - 0.040 mm (0.00079 - 0.00158 in)
8) Boring and honing
(1) If any of the inner diameter, cylindricality, out-of-roundness or clearance between cylinder liner and piston is out of standard or if there is any damage on the cylinder liner, rebore it to replace with an oversize piston.
CAUTION:
When any of the cylinder liner needs reboring, all other cylinder liners must be bored at the same time, and replaced with oversize pistons.
(2) If the inner diameter of cylinder liner exceeds the limit after boring and honing, replace the cylinder block and piston as a set.
NOTE:
- Immediately after reboring, the inner diameter of cylinder liner may differ from its real diameter due to temperature rise. Thus, when measuring the inner diameter of cylinder liner, wait until the temperature has cooled to 20°C (68°F).
- For the measurement of the inner diameter of cylinder liner, refer to step 6).
Inner diameter of cylinder liner boring limit (diameter):
To 84.505 mm (3.3270 in)
