| INSPECTION
| PISTON RING
| Measure the clearance between each piston ring and its groove. If the limit is exceeded, replace the ring or piston, or both. Standard values: No. 1 ring: 0.04 - 0.07 mm No. 2 ring: 0.02 - 0.06 mm Limits: 0.1 mm
| Install a piston ring or oil ring side rail into the cylinder bore and force it down with the head of a piston until the ring is at right angles to the cylinder wall. Measure the end gap with a thickness gauge. NOTE: If the end gap is excessive, replace the piston ring. Standard values: No. 1 ring: 0.25 - 0.35 mm No. 2 ring: 0.40 - 0.55 mm Oil ring: 0.10 - 0.40 mm Limits: No. 1 ring: 0.8 mm No. 2 ring: 0.8 mm Oil ring: 1.0 mm
| CRANKSHAFT PIN OIL CLEARANCE (PLASTIC GAUGE METHOD) Wipe off oil from the crankshaft pin and connecting rod bearing. Cut a piece of plastic gauge whose length is equivalent to the width of the bearing and place it on the crankshaft pin in parallel with its axis. Install the connecting rod cap carefully and tighten the nuts to the specified torque 20 ± 2 N·m + 90° to 94°. Remove the nuts, then remove the connecting rod cap carefully.
| Measure the largest width of the crushed plastic gauge using the ruler printed on the bag of the plastic gauge. Standard value: 0.03 - 0.05 mm Limit: 0.1 mm
