Inspection and Replacement
INSPECTION
1. REMOVE GASKET MATERIAL

3. Using a feeler gauge, measure the end gap.
Ring end gap
If the end gap is not as specified, replace the piston ring. If the end gap is not as specified, even with a new piston ring, rebore all the 4 cylinders or replace the cylinder block.
d. Inspect the piston pin fit. At 80 - 90°C (176 - 194°F), you should be able to push the piston pin into the piston pin hole with your thumb.
e. Using a rod aligner and feeler gauge, check the connecting rod alignment.
1. Check for bend.
Maximum bend: 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch) per 100 mm (3.94 inch)
If bend is greater than maximum, replace the connecting rod assembly.
2. Check for twist
Maximum twist: 0.15 mm (0.0059 inch) per 100 mm (3.94 inch) If twist is greater than maximum, replace the connecting rod assembly.
f. Inspect the piston pin oil clearance.
1. Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the connecting rod bushing.
Bushing inside diameter: 24.008 - 24.017 mm (0.9452 - 0.9455 inch)
2. Using a micrometer, measure the pin diameter.
Piston pin diameter: 24.000 - 24.009 mm (0.9449 - 0.9452 inch)
3. Subtract the piston pin diameter measurement from the bushing inside diameter measurement.
Standard oil clearance: 0.005 - 0.011 mm (0.0002 - 0.0004 inch)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.015 mm (0.0006 inch)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the bushing. If necessary, replace the piston and piston pin as a set.
g. Inspect the connecting rod bolts.
1. Install the cap nut to the connecting rod bolt. Check that the cap nut can be turned easily by hand to the end of the thread.
2. If the cap nut cannot be turned easily, measure the minimum outside diameter of the connecting rod bolt with vernier calipers.
Standard outside diameter 7.80 - 7.90 mm (0.3071 - 0.3110 inch)
Minimum outside diameter: 7.60 mm (0.2992 inch)
HINT: If the location of minimum diameter cannot be judged by visual inspection, measure the outer diameter at the location.
If the outside diameter is less than limit, replace the connecting rod bolt and nut as a set.
