NOTE:
NOTE: b. Clean the connecting rod bolts.
c. After installing the big end bearing, assemble
the connecting rod and connecting rod cap
once using a single unit of the connecting
rod.
d. Tighten the connecting rod bolt while check-
ing that the sections shown
a and b are
flush with each other by touching the surface.

To install the big end bearing, care should be
taken not to install it at an angle and the position
should not be out of alignment.
e. Loosen the connecting rod bolt, remove the
connecting rod and connecting rod cap and
install these parts to the crankshaft with the
big end bearing kept in the current condition.
10. Install:

piston assemblies

WARNING
CAUTION:

When the bolt is tightened more than the
specified angle, do not loosen the bolt and
then retighten it.
Replace the bolt with a new one and per-
form the procedure again.

If they are not flush with each other, remove
the connecting rod bolt and big end bear-
ing and restart from step “9”.
In this case, make sure to replace the con-
necting rod bolt.

Do not use a torque wrench to tighten the
bolt to the specified angle.

Tighten the bolt until it is at the specified
angles.

Replace the crank-
shaft journal bearings.

Do not interchange the crankshaft journal
bearings. To obtain the correct crankshaft-
journal-to-crankshaft-journal-bearing clear-
ance and prevent engine damage, the crank-
shaft journal bearings must be installed in
their original positions.

NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE:
a. Clean the crankshaft journal bearings,
crankshaft journals, and bearing portions of
the crankcase.
b. Place the upper crankcase upside down on a
bench.
c. Install the crankshaft journal upper bearings
1 and the crankshaft into the upper crank-
case.
Align the projections
a on the crankshaft jour-
nal upper bearings with the notches
b in the up-
per crankcase.
d. Put a piece of Plastigauge
 2 on each
crankshaft journal.
Do not put the Plastigauge
 over the oil hole in
the crankshaft journal.
e. Install the crankshaft journal lower bearings
1 into the lower crankcase and assemble
the crankcase halves.

Align the projections
a of the crankshaft jour-
nal lower bearings with the notches
b in the
lower crankcase.

Do not move the crankshaft until the clearance
measurement has been completed.
f. Tighten the bolts to specification in the tight-
ening sequence cast on the crankcase.

NOTE:
NOTE:
* Following the tightening order, loosen the bolt
one by one and then retighten it to the specific
torque.
Lubricate the crankcase bolt threads with en-
gine oil.
Refer to “CRANKCASE”.
g. Remove the lower crankcase and the crank-
shaft journal lower bearings.
h. Measure the compressed Plastigauge

width c on each crankshaft journal.
If the crankshaft-journal-to-crankshaft-jour-
nal-bearing clearance is out of specification,
select replacement crankshaft journal bear-
ings.
2. Select:

crankshaft journal bearings (J1
J5)

The numbers
A stamped into the crankshaft
web and the numbers
1 stamped into the low-
er crankcase are used to determine the re-
placement crankshaft journal bearing sizes.

“J1
J5” refer to the bearings shown in the
crankshaft illustration.

If “J1
J5” are the same, use the same size
for all of the bearings.

If the size is the same for all “J
1 to J5” one digit
for that size is indicated. (Crankcase side only)
For example, if the crankcase “J
1” and crank-
shaft web “J
1” numbers are “6” and “2” respec-
tively, then the bearing size for “J1” is:
“J
1” (crankcase) – “J1”
(crankshaft web) – 1 =
6 – 2 – 1 = 3 (brown)
