It is not advisable to attempt to replace cam-
shaft bearings unless special removal and in-
stallation tools are available.

If the clearance exceeds specification using a pair
of 0.051 mm (0.002 inch) undersize bearing inserts,
measure crankshaft journal diameter with a mi-
crometer. If the journal diameter is correct, the
crankshaft bore in the cylinder block may be mis-
aligned, which requires cylinder block replacement or
machining to true bore.
Replace the crankshaft or grind to accept the ap-
propriate undersize bearing inserts if:
²Journal diameters 1 through 6 are less than
63.4517 mm (2.4981 inches)
²Journal 7 diameter is less than 63.4365 mm
(2.4975 inches).
Once the proper clearances have been obtained,
proceed to Crankshaft Main BearingÐInstallation.
MAIN BEARING JOURNAL DIAMETER (CRANKSHAFT
REMOVED)
Remove the crankshaft from the cylinder block (re-
fer to Cylinder Block - Disassemble).
Clean the oil off the main bearing journal.
Determine the maximum diameter of the journal
with a micrometer. Measure at two locations 90É
apart at each end of the journal.
The maximum allowable taper and out of round is
0.013 mm (0.0005 inch). Compare the measured di-
ameter with the journal diameter specification (Main
Bearing Fitting Chart). Select inserts required to ob-
tain the specified bearing-to-journal clearance.
Install the crankshaft into the cylinder block (refer
to Cylinder Block - Assemble and Crankshaft Main
Bearings - Installation).
INSTALLATION
(1) Lubricate the bearing surface of each insert
with engine oil.
(2) Loosen all the main bearing caps. Install the
main bearing upper inserts.
(3) Install the lower bearing inserts into the main
bearing caps.
(4) Install the main bearing cap(s) and lower in-
sert(s).
(5) Tighten the bolts of caps 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 to
54 Nzm (40 ft. lbs.) torque. Now tighten these bolts to
95 Nzm (70 ft. lbs.) torque. Finally, tighten these
bolts to 108 Nzm (80 ft. lbs.) torque.
(6) Push the crankshaft forward and backward.
Load the crankshaft front or rear and tighten cap
bolt No.3 to 54 Nzm (40 ft. lbs.) torque. Then tighten

108 Nzm (80 ft. lbs.) torque.
(7) Rotate the crankshaft after tightening each
main bearing cap to ensure the crankshaft rotates
freely.
(8) Check crankshaft end play. Crankshaft end
play is controlled by the thrust bearing which is
flange and installed at the No.2 main bearing posi-
tion.(a) Attach a magnetic base dial indicator to the
cylinder block at either the front or rear of the en-
gine.
(b) Position the dial indicator rod so that it is
parallel to the center line of the crankshaft.
(c) Pry the crankshaft forward, position the dial
indicator to zero.
(d) Pry the crankshaft forward and backward.
Note the dial indicator readings. End play is the
difference between the high and low measurements
(Fig. 6). Correct end play is 0.038-0.165 mm
(0.0015-0.0065 inch). The desired specifications are
0.051-0.064 mm (0.002-0.0025 inch).
(e) If end play is not within specification, inspect
crankshaft thrust faces for wear. If no wear is ap-
parent, replace the thrust bearing and measure
end play. If end play is still not within specifica-
tion, replace the crankshaft.
If the crankshaft was removed, install the crank-
shaft into the cylinder block (refer to Cylinder Block -
Assemble).

GENERAL INFORMATION
All XJ and YJ models pass a full 360 degree roll-
over test without fuel leakage. To accomplish this,
fuel and vapor flow controls are required for all fuel
tank connections.
All models are equipped with a pressure relief/roll-
over valve mounted in the top of the fuel tank. The
return line from the fuel pump to the fuel tank con-
tains a one-way check valve.
An evaporative control system prevents raw fuel
vapor from escaping into the atmosphere. Fuel va-
pors from the fuel tank are collected in the EVAP
canister. When the engine is operating, the vapors
are drawn into the intake manifold to be used in
combustion. Refer to Group 25, Emission Control
System for more information.
Inspect all hose/tube connections for completeness.
Be sure that leaks are not present. Replace any hose
that is cracked, scuffed, swelled, has rubbed against
other vehicle components or shows any other sign of
wear that could lead to failure. If it is necessary to
replace a hose, only hose marked EFM/EFI may be
used.
When installing hoses, be sure that they are routed
away from contact with other vehicle components.
The hose clamps used on fuel injected vehicles are
of a special rolled edge construction to prevent the
edge of the clamp from cutting into the hose. Only
these rolled edge type clamps may be used on this
system. Other types of clamps may cut into the hoses
and cause high-pressure fuel leaks.
FUEL TANK CAPACITIES
Refer to the Specifications section at the end of this
group.
NO-LEAD FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE
All vehicles are designed to operate using Unleaded
fuels. The diameter of the opening in the fuel tank
filler neck is sized to only accept unleaded fuel noz-
zles. Gasoline station pumps for unleaded and leaded
fuels have different size nozzles. Leaded fuel nozzles
are larger in diameter than unleaded nozzles. The
fuel tank filler neck opening is also equipped with adeflector, which the smaller unleaded nozzle pushes
back upon entering the filler neck. The deflector will
prevent the larger diameter leaded fuel nozzles from
entering the filler neck and will deflect fuel away
from the filler neck. This happens if filling of the
tank with leaded fuel is attempted.
A label is attached to the instrument panel under
the fuel gauge that reads UNLEADED FUEL ONLY
as a reminder to the driver. A similar label is located
near the fuel tank filler.
FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE CAP
The loss of any fuel or vapor out of the filler neck
is prevented by the use of a safety filler cap. This
will release only under pressure of 10.9 to 13.45 kPa
(1.58 to 1.95 psi). The vacuum release is between .97
and 2.0 kPa (.14 and .29 psi). This cap must be re-
placed by a similar unit if replacement is necessary.
CAUTION: Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap prior
to removing or repairing fuel lines to relieve fuel
tank pressure.
HEAT SHIELDS
The sheet metal heat shields may have to be re-
moved when servicing the fuel tank, fuel lines or va-
