No.
2 2L-T 0.070 - 0.1 15 mm
(0.0028 - 0.0045 in.)
3L 0.060 - 0.105 mm
(0.0024 - 0.0041 in.)
Oil
0.030 - 0.070 mm
(0.0012 - 0.0028 in.)
Maximum ring groove clearance:

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
