ENGINE – ENGINE MECHANICAL EG–111 3. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD A. Inspect connecting rod alignment Using a feeler gauge and rod aligner, check the connecting rod alignment. • Check for out–of–alignment Maximum out–of–alignment: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.) per 100 mm (3.94 in.) If out–of–alignment is greater than maximum, replace the connecting rod assembly. • Check for twist Maximum twist: 0.15 mm (0.0059 in.) per 100 mm (3.94 in.) If twist is greater than maximum, replace the connecting rod assembly. B. Inspect piston pin oil clearance (a) Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the connecting rod bushing. Bushing inside diameter: 22.005–22.014 mm (0.8663–0.8667 in.) (b) Using a micrometer, measure the piston pin diameter. Piston pin diameter: 21.997–22.006 mm (0.8660–0.8664 in.) (c) Subtract the piston pin diameter measurement from the bushing inside diameter measurement. Standard oil clearance: 0.005–0.011 mm (0.0002–0.0004 in.) Maximum oil clearance: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.) If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the bushing. If necessary, replace the piston and piston pin as a set. P02270 EM028B Z02381 P02277 EM0290 Z02382 P02275 EM0227
