4. Inspecting and repairing cylinder block, crankshaft and piston
4.1 Measuring cylinder inside diameter
Use a cylinder gauge to measure the inside diameter and
cylindericity of the cylinder at three locations in the A and B
directions as shown in the illustration.
If any one of the cylinders exceeds the repair limit, bore all
the cylinders and replace the pistons and piston rings with
oversize ones.

4.2 Measuring piston outside diameter
Using a micrometer, measure the piston outside diameter at
the skirt perpendicular to the piston pins as shown in the
illustration.
