Crankshaft Bore Code Location
Letters have been stamDed on the end of the block as a
code Jor the size of each of the 5 main journal bores.
Use them, and the numbers or bars stamped on the
crank (codes for main journal size), to choose the correct
beanngs.
lf the codes are indecipherable because of an accumula-
tion of dirt and dust. do not scrub them with a wire
brush or sc.aper. Clean them only with solvent or deter-
gent.

Clearance
Remove the connecting rod cap and bearing half.
Clean the crankshaft rod journal and bearing half
with a clean shop towel.
Place the plastigage across the rod journal.
Reinstall the bearing half and cap, and torque the
nuts.

Torqus: 31 N.m (3.2 kgf.m. 23 lbf.ft)
NOTE: Do not rotate the crankshaft during inspec-
tion.
Remove the rod cap and bearing half, and measure
the widest part of the plastigage.
Connesting Rod Bearing-to-Journal Oil Clearancc:
Standard {Newl: 0.020 - 0.038 mm
{0.0008 - 0.0015 in)
Service Limit: 0.05 mm {0.002 inl
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 {select
the color as shown on the next page), and recheck
the clearance. Do not file, shim, or sc.ape the bear-
ings or the caps to adjust the clearance.
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 clear-
ance again. lf the proper clearance cannot be
obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller
bearings. replace the crankshaft and start over.

Inspection and Adjustment
Pump Belt
When using a new belt. first adjust the deflection or ten-
sion to the values for the new belt, then readjust the
deflection or tension to the values for the used belt after
running engine for five minutes.
Inspection
Note these items during inspection:
a lf there are cracks or any damage evident on the belt,
replace it with a new one.
. Follow the manufacturer's instructions lor the tension
gauge.
'1. Remove the P/S reservoir from the bracket, and set
it aside.
2. Attach the belt tension gauge to the belt with the
gauge face toward the engine, and measure the ten-
sion of the belt.
Remove the belt tension gauge carefully to avoid
hitting the gauge reset lever.
Tension:
Used Belt: 390 - 540 N {40 - 55 kgf, 88 - 121 lbf)
New Belt: 7,[0 - 840 N (75 - 90 kgf, 165 - 198 lbf)

Measurement without Belt Tension Gauge:
Apply a force ot 98 N (10 kgf,22 lbt) and measure the
deflection between the power steering pump and the
crankshaft oullevs.
Deflection:
Used Belt: 11.0 - 1i1.5 mm {0.'(l - 0.57 in)
New Belt: 7.5 - 10.0 mm {0.30 - 0.39 in)

Adiustment
'1. Loosen the power steering pump mounting bolt
and pump lock bolt.
PUMP MOUNNNG BOLT24 N'm (2.4 kgf'm, 17 lbf ftl
PUMP LOCK BOLT24 N.m 12.4 kgf.m, 17 lbf.ftl
Adjust the belt tension by moving the power steer-
ing pump with a 1/2" drive breaker bar to obtain theproper belt tension, then retighten the mounting
bolt and lock bolt.
Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from
lock-to-lock several times, then stop the engine and
recheck the deflection of the belt.

Moldings
Door Moldings Replacement (cont'd)
It the old molding is to be reinstalled:
The following materials and tools are required to repair
the molding.
NOTE: Followthe manufacturer's instructions.
Materials: (Reference)
. Stripe remover
3M 08907
. Stripe adhesive remover
3M 08908
. Adhesive tape
3M Super Automotive Attachment Tape
Tools:
. Protective tape
. Knife or Cutter
. Sponge or Shop towel
. Infrared dryer
. Film
. Plastic putty knife
. Alcohol
CAUTION: Put on gloves to protect your hands,
1. lf necessary, replace any damaged clips on the mold-
ang.
2. Apply the stripe remover evenly to the bonding sur-
face of the body and molding.
3. Cover the bonding surface of the body and molding
with a film, then heat to 104 - 122"F (40 - 50'C) for 5- 10 minutes with an infrared dryer.
NOTE: Use care when heating to prevent deforma-
tion of the body and molding.
4. Carefully scrape the adhesive tape with a plastic
putty knife.
For removal of adhesive tape residue, follow-up with
stripe adhesive remover, then scrape the adhesive
tape with a plastic putty knife.
Remove the protective tape, then clean the bonding
surface with a sponge dampened in alcohol.
NOTE: Make sure the bonding surface is kept free or
water, oil and grease.
7. Glue the new adhesive tape
