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-254, "
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 the calculated value exceeds the limit, select proper connecting rod bearing according to connecting rod
big end diameter and crankshaft pin journal diameter to obtain the specified bearing oil clearance. Refer
to EM-261, "
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-254, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft.
Remove connecting rod bearing cap and bearing, and using
scale on 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”.Standard : 0.020 - 0.045 mm (0.0008 - 0.0018 in)
(actual clearance)
Limit : 0.055 mm (0.0022 in)

MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Calculation
Install main bearings to cylinder block and main bearing caps,
and tighten main bearing cap bolts with main bearing to the
specified torque. Refer to EM-254, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tighten-
ing procedure.
Measure the inner diameter of main bearing with bore gauge.
(Bearing clearance) = (Main bearing inner diameter) – (Crankshaft main journal diameter)
If the calculated value exceeds the limit, select proper main bearing according to main bearing inner diam-
eter and crankshaft main journal diameter to obtain the specified bearing oil clearance. Refer to EM-262,
"HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage
Remove oil and dust on crankshaft main 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 main bearings to cylinder block and main bearing caps, and tighten main bearing bolts with main
bearing to the specified torque. Refer to EM-254, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft.
Remove main bearing caps and bearings, and using scale on
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”.

OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WAR NING :
Be careful not to get burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
Oil pressure check should be done in “Parking position”.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .
2. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
3. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch, and
remove oil pressure switch using deep socket (commercial ser-
vice tool).
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock oil pressure switch.
Remove the oil pressure switch using a 26 mm (1.02 in) box
wrench. (AWD models)
4. Install the oil pressure gauge (SST) and hose (SST).
5. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
6. Check the engine oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
NOTE:
When the engine oil temperature is low, the engine oil pressure becomes high.
Engine oil pressure [Engine oil temperature at 80
C (176 F)]
If difference is extreme, check engine oil passage and oil pump for engine oil leaks.
7. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:

REMOVAL
1. Remove oil pans (lower and upper) and oil strainer. Refer to EM-29, "OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
2. Remove front timing chain case and timing chain (primary). Refer to EM-64, "
TIMING CHAIN" .
3. Remove oil pump assembly.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Before installation, apply new engine oil to the parts as instructed in the figure.
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
When installing, align crankshaft flat faces with oil pump inner rotor flat faces.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "ENGINE OIL" .
2. Start the engine, and check there is no leaks of engine oil.
3. Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Check the engine oil level and adjust the level. Refer to LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL" .
Disassembly and AssemblyNBS004Q5
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove oil pump cover.
2. Remove oil pump inner rotor and oil pump outer rotor from oil pump body.
3. After removing regulator valve plug, remove regulator valve spring and regulator valve.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 15 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for oil leakage around the following area.
Oil pan
Oil pan drain plug
Oil pressure switch
Oil filter
Intake valve timing control cover
Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
Front cover
Chain tensioner cover
Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover

OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WAR NING :
Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
Oil pressure check should be done in “Parking position”.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-26, "

2. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
3. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch, and
remove oil pressure switch using deep socket (commercial ser-
vice tool).

REMOVAL
1. Remove engine assembly from vehicle. Refer to EM-244, "ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .
2. Remove front cover. Refer to EM-203, "
TIMING CHAIN" .
3. Remove oil pump drive spacer.
Set bolts in the two bolt holes [M6 pitch 1.0 mm (0.04 in)] on
the front surface. Using suitable puller, pull oil pump drive
spacer off from crankshaft.
NOTE:
The dimension between the centers of the two bolt holes is 33
mm (1.30 in).
In the figure, a commercial steering puller is used.
4. Remove oil pump.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the oil pump.
2. Install oil pump drive spacer as follows:
a. Insert oil pump drive spacer according to the directions of crank-
shaft key and the two flat surfaces of oil pump inner rotor.
If the positional relationship does not allow the insertion,
rotate oil pump inner rotor with a finger to allow spacer.
b. After confirming that the position of each part is in correct condi-
tion to allow for spacer, force fit spacer by lightly tapping with
plastic hammer until it contacts and does not go further.
