Engine Block

Block and Piston Inspection

7-11  

  1. Check the cylinder block upper face distortion. Use a straight edge and a feeler gauge to measure the four sides and the two diagonals of the cylinder block upper face.

Cylinder block upper face distortion:

Standard (New):

0.05 mm (0.002 in.) or less

Service limit:

0.1 mm (0.004 in.)

  1. Check the cylinder block height.

Standard (New):

272 mm (10.71 in.)

  1. Measure the cylinder block bore.
  1. Take measurements at measuring point (A) across positions (''W – W''), (''X – X''), (''Y – Y'') and (''Z – Z'').

    Measuring point (A):

    12, 55 and 95 mm

  1. Calculate the average value of the four measurements to determine the correct cylinder grade.

    NOTE: It is most important that the correct piston grade be used. Failure to select the incorrect piston grade will result in engine failure.

    Cylinder block bore grade:

    Grade A:

    79.001 – 79.010 mm

    (3.1102 – 3.1106 in.)

    Grade B:

    79.011 – 79.020 mm

    (3.1107 – 3.1110 in.)

    Grade C:

    79.021 – 79.030 mm

    (3.1111 – 3.1114 in.)
