Connecting Rod and Crankshaft End Play Inspection
1.Remove the oil pump (see page 8-9).
Remove the baffle plates (see step 6 on page 1 -12).
3. Measure the connecting rod end play with a feeler
gauge between the connecting rod and crankshaft.
Connecting Rod End Play
Standard {New): 0.15 0.30 mm(0.006-0.012 in.l
Service Limit 0.40 mm (0.016 in.l
4.lf the connecting rod end play is out-of-tolerance,
install a new connecting rod, and recheck. lf it is
still out-of-tolerance, replace the crankshaft (see
page 7 -12],.
5. lnstall a dial indicator as shown. Push the
crankshaft firmly away from the dial indicator, and
zero the dial against the end of the crankshaft. Then
pull the crankshaft firmly back toward the indicator;
the dial reading should not exceed the service limit.
Crankshaft End Plav
Standard lNew): 0.10-0.35 mm
{0.004-0.014 in.l
Service Limit: 0.45 mm {0.018 in.)
lf the end play is out-of-tolerance, replace the thrust
washers and recheck. lf it is still out-of-tolerance,
replace the crankshaft.

Crankshaft Main Bearing Replacement
Main Bearing Clearance Inspection
1. To check main bea ring-to-jou rna I oil clearance.
remove the lower block and bearing halves (see
page 1 -12)..
2, Clean each main journal and bearing half witha
clean shop towel.
3. Place one strip of plastigage across each main
lou rnal.
4. Reinstallthe bearings and lower block, then torque
the bolts to 29 N.m {3.0 kgf.m,22 lbf.ft) + 56'.
NOTE: Do not rotate the crankshaft during
Inspeclton.
5. Remove the lower block and bearings again, and
measure the widest part of the plastigage.

\.
6. lf the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow,
remove the crankshaft. and remove the upper half
ofthe bearing. Install a new, complete bearing with
the same color code{s), and recheck the clearance.
Do not file, shim, or scrape the bearings or the caps
to adjust clearance.
7. lf the plastigage shows the clearance is still
incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the
color listed above or below that one), and check
again. lf the proper clearance cannot be obtained
by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings,
replace the crankshaft and start over.

Main Bearing Selection
Crankshaft Bore Code Location
1. Numbers or letters or bars have been stamped on
the end of the block as a code for the size of each of
the five main journal bores. Write down the crank
bore codes. lf you can't read the codes because of
accumulated dirt and dust, do not scrub them with
a wire brush or scraper. Clean them only with
solvent or detergent.

NOTE:. Color code is on the edge of the bearing.. When using bearing halves of different colors. it
does not matter which color is used in the top or
bottom.

1. Remove the oil pump (see page 8-9).
2. Bemove the baffle plates (see step 6 on page 7-12).
3. Remove the connecting rod cap and bearing half.
4. Clean the crankshaft rod journal andbearinghalf
with a clean shop towel.
5. Place plastigage across the rod journal.
6. Reinstallthe bearing half and cap, and torque the
bolts to 20 N.m (2.0 kgf.m, 14lbf.ft) -l 90 ".
NOTE: Do not rotate the crankshaft during
inspection.
7. Remove the rod cap and bearing half, and measure
the widest part of the plastigage.

lf the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow,
remove the upper half of the bearing, install a new,
complete bearing with the same color code(s), and
recheck the clearance. Do not file. shim, or scrape
the bearings or the caps to adjust clearance.
lf the plastigage shows the clearance is still
incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the
color listed above or below that one), and check
clearance agaln. lf the proper clearance cannot be
obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller
bearing, replace the crankshaft and stan over.
Rod Bearing Selection
1. Inspect each connecting rod for cracks and heat
damage.
Connecting Rod Big End Eore Code Locations
2. Each rod has a tolerance range from 0 0.024 mm
(0.0009 in.), in 0.006 mm (0.0002 in.) increments,
depending on the size of its big end bore. lt's then
stamped with a number or bar (1, 2,3 or 4/1, ll,lll, ol
llll) indicating the range. You may find any
combination of numbers and bars in any engine.(Half the number or bar is stamped on the bearing
cap, the other half on the rod.)
lf you can't read the code because of an
accumulation of oil and varnish. do not scrub it
with a wire brush or scraper. Clean it only with
solvent or detergent.
