Oil (rail): 0.590 mm (0.035 inch)

PISTON PIN CLEARANCE INSPECTION





1. Measure each piston pin bore diameter in X and Y directions at the four points (A, B, C, and D) as indicated in the figure.
Standard diameter: 21.015 - 21.020 mm (0.82737 - 0.582755 inch)





2. Measure each connecting rod small end inner diameter in X and Y directions as indicated in the figure.
Standard diameter: 21.017 - 21.031 mm (0.582744 - 0.582799 inch)





3. Measure each piston pin diameter in X and Y directions at the four points (A, B, C and D) as indicated in the figure.
Standard diameter: 21.011 - 21.013 mm (0.82721 - 0.582728 inch)
4. Calculate the piston pin-to-piston pin bore clearance.
- If not as specified, replace the piston and/or piston pin.
Standard clearance: 0.002 - 0.009 mm (0.00008 - 0.00035 inch)
5. Calculate the connecting rod small end-to-piston pin clearance.
- If the connecting rod small end-to-piston pin clearance exceeds the maximum clearance, replace the piston or piston pin.
Standard clearance: 0.004 - 0.020 mm (0.00016 - 0.00078 inch)
Maximum clearance: 0.035 mm (0.0013 inch)

CRANKSHAFT INSPECTION





1. Measure the crankshaft runout. If the crankshaft runout exceeds the maximum runout, replace the crankshaft.
Maximum runout: 0.05 mm (0.0019 inch)
2. Measure the journal diameter in X and Y directions at the two points (A and B) as indicated in the figure.
- If not as specified, replace the crankshaft or grind the journal and install the undersize bearing.





Main journal








Crank pin

CRANKSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE INSPECTION/REPAIR
1. Install the upper main bearing and crankshaft.
2. Position a plastigage atop the journals in the axial direction.





3. Install the lower main bearing and lower cylinder block, and tighten the bolts in the order indicated in the figure.
