Part of the Yanmar Repair Manuals.
Set the 84 mm bore of a 3JH3 against a bore gauge and the wear limit question answers itself: 84.00 to 84.03 mm standard, and this Yanmar service manual (publication HINSHI-H8009) is where that number lives. It covers the 3JH3(B)(C)E(A), 4JH3(B)(C)E, and 4JH3CE1 marine diesels built from 2000 to 2005, with 3JH3E series coverage from serial prefix A01158 onward.
Across 305 pages it works through the basic engine parts, the fuel injection pump and governor, lubrication, sea water and fresh water cooling, the KM3A and KM3P4 marine gears, the electrical system, and complete disassembly and reassembly backed by a table of standard measurements. Every hour spent guessing at a clearance is an hour the engine stays apart on the stand.
The file is a bookmarked, searchable PDF, so you can keep it on a laptop at the bench, print the greasy-hands pages, and have the torque sequences wherever the engine is.
