How to Select Piston and Bearing


DESCRIPTION





- The identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition.
This grade cannot apply to reused parts.
- For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimension accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the measurement with the values of each selection table.
- For details of the measurement method of each part, the reuse standards and the selection method of the selective fitting parts, refer to the text.

HOW TO SELECT PISTON

When New Cylinder Block is Used





Check the cylinder bore grade ("1", "2" or "3") on rear side of cylinder block, and select piston of the same grade.

A: Bearing housing grade No. 1
B: Bearing housing grade No. 2
C: Bearing housing grade No. 3
D: Bearing housing grade No. 4
E: Cylinder bore grade No. 1
F: Cylinder bore grade No. 2
G: Cylinder bore grade No. 3
H: Cylinder bore grade No. 4
I: Cylinder bore grade No. 5
J: Cylinder bore grade No. 6
K: Identification code
White arrow: Engine front


NOTE:
Piston is available with piston pin as a set for the service part. (Only "0" grade piston pin is available.)

When Cylinder Block is Reused
1. Measure the cylinder bore inner diameter. Inspection After Disassembly.





2. Determine the bore grade by comparing the measurement with the values under the cylinder bore inner diameter of the "Piston
Selection Table".

A: Piston grade number
B: Front mark
C: Piston pin grade number

3. Select piston of the same grade.

HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING

When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used





1. "Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table" rows correspond to connecting rod big end diameter grade (D) stamped on side face of connecting rod.

A: Sample code
B: Bearing stopper groove
C: Small end [diameter]grade
E: Weight grade
F: Cylinder No.
G: Management code
H: Front mark
I: Management code





2. "Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table" columns correspond to pin journal diameter grade on front side of crankshafts.

A: Main journal [diameter]grade No. 1
B: Main journal [diameter]grade No. 2
C: Main journal [diameter]grade No. 3
D: Main journal [diameter]grade No. 4
E: Pin [diameter]grade No. 1
F: Pin [diameter]grade No. 2
G: Pin [diameter]grade No. 3
H: Pin [diameter]grade No. 4
I: Pin [diameter]grade No. 5
J: Pin [diameter]grade No. 6
K: Identification code

3. Select connecting rod bearing grade at the point where selected row and column meet in "Connecting
Rod Bearing Selection Table".

When Crankshaft and Connecting Rod are Reused
1. Measure the connecting rod big end diameter and crankshaft pin journal diameter. Inspection After Disassembly.
2. Correspond the measured dimension in "Connecting rod big end diameter" row of "Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table".
3. Correspond the measured dimension in "Crankshaft pin journal diameter" column of "Connecting Rod
Bearing Selection Table".
4. Select connecting rod bearing grade at the point where selected row and column meet in following selection table.

Undersize Bearings Usage Guide
- When the specified connecting rod bearing oil clearance is not obtained with standard size connecting rod bearings, use undersize (US) bearings.
- When using undersize (US) bearing, measure the connecting rod bearing inner diameter with bearing installed, and grind crankshaft pin so that the connecting rod bearing oil clearance satisfies the standard.

CAUTION:





In grinding crankshaft pin to use undersize bearings, keep the fillet R (A) [1.5 � 1.7 mm (0.059 � 0.067 in)].






HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING

When New Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Used





1. "Main Bearing Selection Table" rows correspond to bearing housing grade on rear left side of cylinder block.

A: Bearing housing grade No. 1
B: Bearing housing grade No. 2
C: Bearing housing grade No. 3
D: Bearing housing grade No. 4
E: Cylinder bore grade No. 1
F: Cylinder bore grade No. 2
G: Cylinder bore grade No. 3
H: Cylinder bore grade No. 4
I: Cylinder bore grade No. 5
J: Cylinder bore grade No. 6
K: Identification code
White arrow: Engine front





2. "Main Bearing Selection Table" columns correspond to journal diameter grade on front side of crankshaft.

A: Main journal [diameter]grade No. 1
B: Main journal [diameter]grade No. 2
C: Main journal [diameter]grade No. 3
D: Main journal [diameter]grade No. 4
E: Pin [diameter]grade No. 1
F: Pin [diameter]grade No. 2
G: Pin [diameter]grade No. 3
H: Pin [diameter]grade No. 4
I: Pin [diameter]grade No. 5
J: Pin [diameter]grade No. 6
K: Identification code

3. Select main bearing grade at the point where selected row and column meet in "Main Bearing Selection
Table".

When Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Reused
1. Measure cylinder block main bearing housing inner diameter and crankshaft main journal diameter. Inspection After Disassembly.
2. Correspond the measured dimension in "Cylinder block main bearing housing inner diameter" row of "Main Bearing Selection Table".
3. Correspond the measured dimension in "Crankshaft main journal diameter" column of "Main Bearing
Selection Table".
4. Select main bearing grade at the point where selected row and column meet in following selection table.

Main Bearing Grade Table (All Journals)






Undersize Bearing Usage Guide
- When the specified main bearing oil clearance is not obtained with standard size main bearings, use underside (US) bearing.
- When using undersize (US) bearing, measure the main bearing inner diameter with bearing installed, and grind main journal so that the main bearing oil clearance satisfies the standard.

CAUTION:





In grinding crankshaft main journal to use undersize bearings, keep the fillet R (A) [1.5 � 1.7 mm (0.059 � 0.067 in)].
