Main Bearings

Glearance
1.To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance.
remove the main caps and bearing halves.
Clean each main journal and bearing half with a
clean shop towel.
Place one strip of plastigage across each main jour-
na l.
NOTE: lf the engine is still in the car when you bolt
the main cap down to check clearance, the weight
of the crankshaft and flvwheel will flaften the plasti-
gage further than just the torque on the cap bolt.
and give you an incorrect reading. For an accurate
reading, support the crank with a jack under the
counterweights and check only one bearing at a
time,
Reinstall the bearings and caps, then torque the
bolts.

lf the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow,
(remove the engine if it's still in the car), remove the
crankshaft, and remove the upper half of the bear-
ing. Install a new. complete bearing with the same
color code {select the color as shown on the next
page), and rechsck the clearance.
CAUTION: Do nol fil€, shim, or scrape the bearings
or tho cap3 to adiust cleatanc€.
lf the plastigage shows the clearance is still incor-
rect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color
listed above or below that one), and check again
NOTE: lf the proper clearance cannot be obtained
by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings,
replace the crankshaft and start over.

Cylinder BlockPiston Pins
Bore Honing
1.Measure cylinder bores as shown on page 7-16. lf the
block is to be reused, hone the cylinders and remea-
sure the bores.
Hone cylinder bores with honing oil 8nd a fine (400
grit) stone in a 60 degree cross-hatch pattern.
NOTE:
. Use only a rigid hone with 400 grit or finer stone
such as Sunnen, Ammco, or equivalent.
. Do not use stones lhat are worn or broken.
When honing is complete, thoroughly clean the
engine block of all metal particles. Wash the cylin-
der bores with hot soapY water, then dry and oil
immediately to prevent rusting.
NOTE: Never use solvent. it will only redistribute the
grit on the cylinder walls.
lf scoring or scratches are still present in cylinder
bores after honing to the service limit, rebore the
cylinder block.
NOTE: Some light vertical scoring and scratching is
acceptable if it is not deep enough to catch your fin-
gernail and does not run the full length of the bore.
CYLINOES BLOCK

NOTE:
. After honing, clean the cylinder thoroughly with

Piston Rings
End Gap
1.Using a piston, push a new ring into the cylinderbore 15 - 20 mm (0.6 - 0.8 in) from the bottom.
Measure the piston ring end-gap with a feeler gauge:
. lf the gap is too small, check to see if you have
the proper rings for your engine.. lf the gap is too large. recheck the cylinder borediameter against the wear limits on page 7-16,
lf the bore is over the service limit, the cvlinderblock must be rebored.

Replacement
1.Using a ring expander. remove the old piston rings.
Clean all ring grooves thoroughly.
NOTE:
. Use a squared-off broken ring or ring groove
cleaner with blade to fit piston grooves.
o Top ring groove is 1.0 mm (0.039 in)wide.. Second ring groove is 1.2 mm (0.047 in) wide.. Oil ring groove is 2,8 mm (0.11 in) wide.. File down the blade if necessary.
CAUTION: Do noi use a wire blush to clean ringlands. or cut ring lands deepol with cleaning tool.
NOTE: lfthe piston is to be separated from the con-necting rod, do not install new rings yet.
3. Install new rings in the proper sequence and posi-
taon (see page 7-22).
NOTE: Do not reuse old piston rings.

NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, Part No.08718 - oOOj or 08718- 0003.. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and drybefore applying liquid gaskel. Apply liquid gasket evenly, in a narrow bead cen-tered on the mating surface.o To prevent leakage of oil, apply liquid gasket tothe inner threads of the bolt holes.. Do not install the parts if five mtnures or morehave elapsed since applying liquid gasket.Instead. reapply liquid gasket after removing theold residue.
. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes beforefilling the engine with oil.
