CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Calculation

Install connecting rod bearings (2) to connecting rod (3) and
connecting rod bearing cap (1), and tighten connecting rod bolts
to the specified torque. Refer to EM-81, "
ASSEMBLY" for tight-
ening procedure.

Measure the inner diameter of connecting rod bearing with an
inside micrometer.
(Bearing oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bearing inner diame-
ter) – (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-88,
"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 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-81, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft.

Remove connecting rod cap and bearing, and using the scale
(A) 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”.

1. Install clutch cover bolt (1) to clutch cover mating hole, and
place a torque wrench (A) on the extended line of the flywheel
(2) center line.

Tighten bolt at a force of 9.8 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 87 in-lb) to keep it
from loosening.
2. Put a mating mark on circumferences of the two flywheel
masses without applying any load (Measurement standard
points).
3. Apply a force of 9.8 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 87 in-lb) in each direction,
and mark the movement amount on the mass on the transaxle
side.
