Main Bearing Grade Table (All Journals)
Undersize Bearing Usage Guide

Use undersize (US) bearing when oil clearance with standard size main bearing is not within specification.

When using undersize (US) bearing, measure the bearing inner diameter with bearing installed, and grind
journal until oil clearance falls within specification.
CAUTION:
Keep fillet R [1.5 mm (0.059 in)] when grinding crankshaft jour-
nal in order to use undersize bearing (All journals).

If clearance cannot be adjusted within the standard, grind crankshaft pin and use undersized bearing.
Refer to EM-132, "
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage

Remove engine oil and dust on crankshaft pin and the surfaces
of each bearing completely.

Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than bearing width, and place it
in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.

Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and connect-
ing rod bearing cap, and tighten connecting rod bolts to the
specified torque. Refer to EM-126, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tighten-
ing procedure.
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft.

Remove connecting rod cap and bearings, and using the scale
on the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is same as that described in the “Method by
Calculation”.
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Calculation

Install main bearings to cylinder block and main bearing cap.
Measure the main bearing inner diameter with bearing cap bolt
tightened with main bearing beam to the specified torque. Refer
to EM-126, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.
(Oil clearance) = (Main bearing inner diameter) – (Crankshaft main
journal diameter)

If the measured value exceeds the limit, select main bearings
referring to the main bearing inner diameter and crankshaft jour-
nal outer diameter, so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard. Refer to EM-133, "
HOW TO SELECT
MAIN BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage

Remove engine oil and dust on crankshaft journal and the sur-
faces of each bearing completely.

Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than bearing width, and place it
in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.

Install main bearing to cylinder block and main bearing cap, and
tighten main bearing bolts with main bearing beam to the speci-
fied torque. Refer to EM-126, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening
procedure.
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft.

Remove bearing cap and bearings, and using the scale on the
plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is same as that described in the “Method by
Calculation”.

CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Calculation

Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and cap, and
tighten connecting rod bolts to the specified torque. Refer to
EM-244, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.

Measure the inner diameter of connecting rod bearing with
inside micrometer.
(Bearing oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bearing inner diameter) –
(Crankshaft pin journal diameter)

If clearance exceeds the limit, select proper connecting rod bearing according to connecting rod big end
diameter and crankshaft pin journal diameter to obtain specified bearing oil clearance. Refer to EM-251,
"HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage

Remove oil and dust on crankshaft pin journal and the surfaces of each bearing completely.

Cut plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil
holes.

Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and cap, and tighten connecting rod bolts to the speci-
fied torque. Refer to EM-244, "

1. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system. Clean or repair
as necessary.
2. Visually inspect the battery, battery terminals and cable ends
with ignition switch in “OFF” position.
NOTE:
The contact surface between the battery terminals, cable ends
and tester leads must be clean for a valid test. A poor connec-
tion will prevent testing and a “CHECK CONNECTION” mes-
sage will appear during the test procedures. If this occurs, clean
the battery post and terminals, reconnect them and restart the
test.
3. Connect the red tester lead clamp to the positive battery termi-
nal, and the black to the negative terminal.
4. The tester will turn on automatically. Using the arrow keys,
select “IN-VEHICLE” on the tester and then press the “ENTER”
key.
5. Locate the battery type and rating stamped or written on the top
case of the battery to be tested.
NOTE:
The battery type and rating will have either of the following.
CCA: Cold Cranking Amps (490 CCA, 550 CCA, etc.)
JIS: Japanese Industrial Standard.
Battery is stamped with a number such as:
80D26L: 80 (rank of output), D (physical size-depth), 26 (width
in cm). The last character L (post configuration) is not input into
the tester.
The tester requires the rating for the battery be entered exactly
as it is written or stamped on the battery. Do not attempt a CCA
conversion for JIS stamped batteries. JIS must be input directly.
6. Using the arrow and “ENTER” keys alternately, select the battery type and rating.
NOTE:
The tester lists five choices; CCA, JIS, IEC, DIN, and EN. Only use CCA or JIS.
7. Press “ENTER” to begin the test. Diagnosis results are dis-
played on the tester. Refer to SC-8, "
