Cylinder Block Inspection

Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the top surface of the cylinder block.

Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylinder block.

NOTICE:

If the cylinder is washed at high temperatures, the cylinder liner sticks out beyond the cylinder block. Always wash the cylinder block at a temperature of 45°C (113°F) or less.

Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the warpage of the surfaces which contact the cylinder head gaskets.

Maximum warpage:

0.05 mm (0.00197 in.)

Visually check the cylinder for vertical scratches. If deep scratches are present, rebore all 6 cylinders.
If necessary, replace the cylinder block.

Using a cylinder gauge, measure the cylinder bore diameter at positions A and B in the thrust and axial directions.

Standard diameter:

94.000 to 94.012 mm (3.7008 to 3.7013 in.)

Maximum diameter:

94.132 mm (3.7060 in.)

Measurement position (A):

10 mm (0.394 in.)

Clean the piston.

1. Using a gasket scraper, remove the carbon from the piston top.
   

2. Using a groove cleaning tool or broken ring, clean the piston ring grooves.
   

3. Using solvent and a brush, thoroughly clean the piston.
   

   NOTICE:

   Do not use a wire brush.

Mark C	22.008 to 22.010 mm (0.86645 to 0.86653 in.)

Using a micrometer, measure the piston pin diameter.

a	28 mm (1.102 in.) from edge
b	5 mm (0.197 in.) from edge
