CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow gasket flakes to enter the oil or coolant passages.
- Measure the distortion on the block upper face at different points in six directions.
Distortion limit: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in)
- If out of specification, resurface the cylinder block. The allowable amount of resurfacing is dependent on the amount of any cylinder head resurfacing. The resurfacing limit is [amount of cylinder head resurfacing] + [amount of cylinder head resurfacing] = 0.2 mm (0.008 in).

- If out of the standard, replace the cylinder block and main bearing caps as an assembly.
NOTE:
These components cannot be replaced as a single unit, because they were processed together.
PISTON-TO-CYLINDER BORE CLEARANCE
1.Using a bore gauge, measure cylinder bore for wear, out-of-round and taper at (A), (B) and (C). The X axis is in the longitudinal direction of the engine.
Cylinder bore inner diameter
If it exceeds the limit, rebore all cylinders. Replace cylinder block if necessary.
2.Check for scratches and seizure. If seizure is found, hone it.
-If both cylinder block and piston are replaced with new ones, select piston of the same grade number punched on cylinder block rear position. These numbers are punched in either Arabic or Roman numerals.
3.Measure piston skirt diameter.
Piston diameter (A): Refer to {LINK_TO:0000000007989965},
"Cylinder Block"
Measuring point (a) (Distance from the top) : 38.0 mm (1.496 in)
4.Check that piston-to-bore clearance is within specification.
Piston-to-bore clearance at (B) : 0.010 - 0.030 mm (0.0004 - 0.0012 in)
- The piston-to-bore clearance is measured at the (B) level in the cylinder as shown.
5.Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston-to-bore clearance to piston diameter (A).
6.Install main bearing caps, and tighten to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be distorted after boring.
7.Cut cylinder bores.
-When any cylinder needs boring, all other cylinders must also be bored.
-Do not cut too much out of cylinder bore at a time. Cut only 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or so in diameter at a time.
8.Hone cylinders to obtain specified piston-to-bore clearance.
9.Measure finished cylinder bore for out-of-round and taper.
-Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
CRANKSHAFT

2.Measure the journals for taper and out-of-round.
Standard
Out-of-round (X - Y) : 0.002 mm (0.0001 in)
Taper (A - B) : 0.002 mm (0.0001 in)
3.Measure crankshaft runout.
a.Place a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals on the both ends of the crankshaft.
b.Place a dial gauge straight up on the No. 3 journal.
c.While rotating the crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer on the dial gauge.
Runout limit (total indicator reading) : 0.10 mm (0.0039 in)
BEARING CLEARANCE
- Use either of the following two methods, however method (A) gives more reliable results and so is the preferred method.
)
Main Bearing
1.Set the main bearings in their proper positions on the cylinder block and the main bearing cap.
2.Install the main bearing caps and bearing beam to the cylinder block. Tighten all bolts in the numerical order as specified. Refer to "Disassembly and Assembly" Disassembly And Assembly.
3.Measure the inner diameters (A) of each main bearing as shown.
4.Measure the outer diameters (Dm) of each crankshaft main journal as shown.
5.Calculate the main bearing clearance.
Main bearing clearance = (A) - (Dm)
Standard : 0.035 - 0.045 mm (0.0014 - 0.0018 in)
Limit : 0.065 mm (0.0026 in)
- If it exceeds the limit, replace the bearing.
- If clearance cannot be adjusted using any standard bearing grade, grind crankshaft journal and use an undersized bearing.
- When grinding the crankshaft journal, confirm that the (L)
dimension in the fillet role is more than the specified limit.
(L) : 0.10 mm (0.0039 in)
6.If the crankshaft or the cylinder block is replaced with a new one, select thickness of the main bearings as follows:
a.The grade number of each cylinder block main journal is punched on the respective cylinder block. These numbers are punched in either Arabic or Roman numerals. If measured diameter is out of the grade punched, decide suitable grade from available main bearings.
b.The grade number of each crankshaft main journal is punched on the crankshaft end. These numbers are punched in either
Arabic or Roman numerals. If measured diameter is out of grade punched, decide the suitable grade from available main bearings.
c.Select the main bearing suitable thickness according to the following table:
Connecting Rod Bearing (Big End)
1.Install the connecting rod bearing to the connecting rod and cap.
2.Install the connecting rod cap to the connecting rod. Tighten to specification. Refer to "Disassembly and Assembly" Disassembly And Assembly.
3.Measure the inner diameter (C) of each connecting rod (big end)
as shown.
4.Measure the outer diameter (Dp) of each crankshaft pin journal.
5.Calculate the connecting rod bearing clearance.
Connecting rod bearing clearance = (C) - (Dp)
Standard : 0.020 - 0.045 mm (0.0008 - 0.0018 in)
Limit : 0.070 mm (0.0028 in)
6.If the calculated clearance exceeds the specified limit, replace the bearings.
7.If the clearance cannot be adjusted within the standard of any bearing, grind the crankshaft journal and use undersized bearings.
8.If the crankshaft is replaced with a new one, select the connecting rod bearings according to the following table:
Connecting Rod Bearing Grade Number (Identification Color)
These numbers are punched in either Arabic or Roman numerals.
- Remove oil and dust on the crankshaft pin and the surfaces of each bearing completely.
- Cut a Plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.
- Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod cap, and tighten the connecting rod nuts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate the crankshaft.
- Remove the connecting rod cap and bearings, and using the scale on the Plastigage bag, measure the Plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the repair limit is same as that described in "Method A (Using Bore Gauge and Micrometer)".
DRIVE PLATE RUNOUT
Runout (Total Indicator Reading):
Drive plate
torque converter surface: less than 0.35 mm (.0138 in)

CAUTION:
- The signal plate is built into the drive assembly. Be careful not to damage the signal plate, particularly the teeth.
- Check the drive plate and signal plate for deformation or cracks.
- Keep any magnetized objects away from the signal plate, particularly the teeth.
OIL JET
- Check nozzle for deformation and damage.
- Blow compressed air from nozzle, and check for clogs.
- If it is not operating properly, replace oil jet.
OIL JET RELIEF VALVE
- Using a clean plastic stick, press check valve in oil jet relief valve.
Make sure that valve moves smoothly with proper reaction force.
- If it is not operating properly, replace oil jet relief valve.
