2. Install main bearing cap to cylinder block.
lTighten all bolts in correct order in two or three stages.
3. Measure inner diameter ``A'' of each main bearing.
4. Measure outer diameter ``Dm'' of each crankshaft main jour-
nal.
5. Calculate main bearing clearance.
Main bearing clearance=AþDm
Standard:
0.020 - 0.047 mm (0.0008 - 0.0019 in)
Limit:
0.1 mm (0.004 in)
6. If it exceeds the limit, replace bearing.
7. If clearance cannot be adjusted within the standard of any
bearing, grind crankshaft journal and use undersized bear-
ing.
a. When grinding crankshaft journal, confirm that ``L''
dimension in fillet roll is more than the specified limit.
``L'': 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
b. Refer to SDS for grinding crankshaft and available ser-
vice parts.
8. If crankshaft is reused, measure main bearing clearance and
select thickness of main bearing.
If crankshaft or cylinder block is replaced, select thickness of
main bearings as follows:
a. Grade number of each cylinder block main journal is punched
on the respective cylinder block. These numbers are
punched in either Arabic or Roman numerals.

3. Measure crankshaft end play.
Crankshaft end play: mm (in)
Standard
0.05 - 0.18 (0.0020 - 0.0071)
Limit
0.3 (0.012)
If beyond the limit, replace bearing with a new one.
4. Install connecting rod bearings in connecting rods and con-
necting rod caps.
lConfirm that correct bearings are used.
Refer to EM-45.
lInstall bearings so that oil hole in connecting rod aligns
with oil hole of bearing.
lApply new engine oil to bearing surfaces, bolt threads
and seating surfaces.
5. Install pistons with connecting rods.
a. Install them into corresponding cylinders with Tool.
lArrange so that front mark on piston head faces toward
front of engine.
lMake sure connecting rod does not scratch cylinder
wall.
lMake sure connecting rod bolts do not scratch crank-
shaft journals.
lApply new engine oil to piston rings and sliding surface
of piston.
b. Install connecting rod bearing caps.
Tighten connecting rod bearing cap nuts using the following
procedure.
Connecting rod bearing nut:
(1) Tighten to 14 to 16 N´m
(1.4 to 1.6 kg-m, 10 to 12 ft-lb).
(2) Tighten bolts 60
+5
þ0degrees clockwise
with an angle wrench.
If an angle wrench is not available, tighten
them to 38 to 44 N´m (3.9 to 4.5 kg-m, 28 to 33
ft-lb).
6. Measure connecting rod side clearance.
Connecting rod side clearance: mm (in)
Standard
0.2 - 0.4 (0.008 - 0.016)
Limit
0.6 (0.024)
If beyond the limit, replace connecting rod and/or crankshaft.

WARNING:
lPlace vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
lPlace chocks at front and rear of rear wheels.
lYou should not remove oil pan until exhaust system and
cooling system have completely cooled off.
Otherwise, you may burn yourself and/or fire may break
out in the fuel line.
lWhen removing front and/or rear engine mounting bolts
or nuts, lift up slightly engine for safety work.
CAUTION:
lIn lifting engine, be careful not to hit against adjacent
parts, especially against accelerator wire casing end,
brake tube and brake master cylinder.
lFor tightening torque, refer to EM-71, MT and PD sec-
tions.
Remove oil pan bolts in order shown.
Installation
1. Install the oil pan gasket with the coated surface facing the
cylinder block and the notch facing the rear of the engine.
2. Tighten all bolts in reverse order of removal. For tightening
torque of oil pan and correct installing direction of drain plug
washer, refer to EM-71.

Assembly
PISTON
Assemble pistons, piston pins, snap rings and connecting rods.
a. Numbers are stamped on the connecting rod and cap
corresponding to each cylinder. Care should be taken to
avoid a wrong combination including bearing.
b. When inserting piston pin in connecting rod, heat piston
with a heater or hot water [approximately 60 to 70ÉC (140
to 158ÉF)] and apply engine oil to pin and small end of
connecting rod.
c. After assembling, ascertain that piston swings
smoothly.
