Inspection
Check air cleaner filter for dirt.
Replace excessively dirty filter.
Cylinder Block Heater Inspection (If Equipped)
Reference: CYLINDER HEAD COVER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
- Check continuity between terminals "a" and "c". If there is no continuity, replace cylinder block heater. See «Cylinder Block Heater Removal and Installation (If Equipped)»(ref-514568-S01245109532012112100000) .
- Check that there is no continuity between terminal "a" and "b". If there is continuity, replace engine block heater. See «Cylinder Block Heater Removal and Installation (If Equipped)»(ref-514568-S01245109532012112100000) .
- Check continuity between terminal "b" and engine block heater body. If there is no continuity, replace engine block heater. See «Cylinder Block Heater Removal and Installation (If Equipped)»(ref-514568-S01245109532012112100000) .

Cylinder Head No. 1 Bolt Inspection
Reference: VALVE AND CYLINDER HEAD DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
Note. If they are reused, check thread diameter of cylinder head No. 1 bolt (1) for deformation as follows and replace it with new one if thread diameter difference exceeds its limit.
Measure each thread diameter of cylinder head No. 1 bolt "A" at "a" and "B" at "b" using micrometer (3).
Then calculate difference in diameters (A - B).
If it exceeds limit, replace cylinder head No. 1 bolt with new bolt.
Cylinder head No. 1 bolt diameter measurement points
"a": 95.0 mm (3.74 in.)
"b": 130.0 mm (5.12 in.)
Cylinder head No. 1 bolt diameter difference (deformation)
Limit (A - B): 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.)

Cylinder, Piston and Piston Ring Inspection
Reference: PISTON, PISTON RING AND CONNECTING ROD DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
Visual inspection
Check cylinder walls for scratches, roughness or ridges which indicate excessive wear.
If cylinder wall is too rough, deeply scratched, ridged, replace cylinder block, piston rings and/or pistons.
Inspect piston for cracks or other damages.
If abnormality is found, replace piston.
Piston Pins and Connecting Rods Inspection
Reference: PISTON, PISTON RING AND CONNECTING ROD DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
Check piston pin, connecting rod small-end bore and piston pin hole in piston for wear or damage, paying particular attention to condition of small-end bore bush.
If piston pin, connecting rod small-end bore or piston pin hole in piston is badly worn or damaged, replace piston pin, connecting rod and/or piston.
Crankshaft Pin and Connecting Rod Bearings Inspection

Note. For identification of each cylinder, refer to PRECAUTIONS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF CYLINDER .
Connecting Rod Bearing Visual Inspection
Check bearing shells for signs of fusion, pitting, burn or flaking and observe contact pattern. If abnormality is found, replace connecting rod bearings.
Crankshaft Inspection
Reference: MAIN BEARINGS, CRANKSHAFT AND CYLINDER BLOCK REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Main Bearings Inspection
Reference: MAIN BEARINGS, CRANKSHAFT AND CYLINDER BLOCK REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Check bearings for pitting, scratches, wear or damage.
If any defective condition is found, replace both upper and lower halves. Never replace either half without replacing the other half.
Crank Case Bolt No. 1 Inspection
Measure each thread diameter at specified points on crank case bolt No. 1 (1) using micrometer (2).
Calculate difference in diameters ("A" - "B").
If it exceeds limit, replace with new one.
Crank case bolt diameter measurement points
"a": 61.0 mm (2.40 in.)
"b": 98.0 mm (3.86 in.)
Crank case cap bolt diameter difference
Limit ("A" - "B"): 0.013 mm (0.00051 in.)
