Remove main bearing caps 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 CRUSH HEIGHT
When main bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the
specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of bear-
ing must protrude. Refer to EM-128, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tight-
ening procedure.
If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT
When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tight-
ened to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings
installed, the tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-128,
"ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.
If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.
MAIN BEARING CAP BOLT OUTER DIAMETER
Measure the outer diameters (“d1 ”, “d2 ”) at two positions as
shown in the figure.
If reduction appears in “A” range, regard it as “d2 ”.
If it exceeds the limit (large difference in dimensions), replace
main bearing cap bolt with new one.

CONNECTING ROD BOLT OUTER DIAMETER
Measure the outer diameter “d” at position shown in the figure.
If the reduction appears in a position other than “d”, regard it as
“d”.
When “d” exceeds the limit (when it becomes thinner), replace
connecting rod bolt with new one.
DRIVE PLATE
Check drive plate and signal plate for deformation or damage.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble drive plate.
Do not place drive plate with signal plate facing down.
When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or
scratch it.
Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from
becoming magnetized.
If anything is found, replace drive plate.
OIL JET
Check nozzle for deformation and damage.
Blow compressed air from nozzle, and check for clogs.
If it is not satisfied, clean or replace oil jet.
OIL JET RELIEF VALVE
Using a clean plastic stick, press check valve in oil jet relief
valve. Make sure that valve moves smoothly with proper reac-
tion force.
If it is not satisfied, replace oil jet relief valve.Standard : 7.90 - 8.00 mm (0.3110 - 0.3150 in)
