CAUTION: When any of the cylinders needs reboring, other cylinders must be bored at the same time, and replaced with oversize pistons. If the cylinder inner diameter exceeds the limit after boring and honing, replace the cylinder block. NOTE: Immediately after reboring, the cylinder diameter may differ from its real diameter due to temperature rise. Thus, when measuring the cylinder diameter, wait until it has cooled to room temperature. Cylinder inner diameter boring limit (diameter): To 100.005 mm (3.9372 in)

4. Use a thickness gauge to measure the thrust clearance of the crankshaft at the #5 crank journal bearing. If the thrust clearance is not within the standard, replace the bearing. Crankshaft thrust clearance: Standard 0.030 - 0.115 mm (0.0012 - 0.0045 in)
5. Inspect individual crankshaft bearings for signs of flaking, seizure, melting and wear.
6. Measure the oil clearance on each crankshaft bearing using plastigauge. If the measured value is out of standard, replace the defective bearing with an undersize one, and replace or grind to correct the crankshaft as necessary. Crankshaft oil clearance: Standard 0.010 - 0.030 mm (0.0004 - 0.0072 in)
