1. |
Check the crankshaft main bearing oil clearance.
(1) |
To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance, remove
the bearing caps with their lower bearings.
|
(2) |
Clean each main journal and lower bearing with a clean
shop towel.
|
(3) |
Place one strip of plastigage across each main journal.
|
(4) |
Reinstall the bearing caps with their lower bearings,
then tighten the bolts.
Tightening torque :
17.7 ~ 21.6 N.m (1.8 ~ 2.2 kgf.m, 13.0 ~ 15.9
lb-ft) + 88 ~ 92°
|
• |
Always use new crankshaft main bearing
cap bolts. Crankshaft main bearing cap bolts
are toque-to-yield bolts designed to be permanently
elongated beyond the state of elasticity when
torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused,
it may cause the bolts to break or fail to maintain
clamping force.
|
• |
Do not turn the crankshaft.
|
|
|
(5) |
Remove the bearing caps with their lower bearing again,
and measure the widest part of the plastigage.
Oil clearance
No.1, 2, 3, 4, 5 : 0.021 ~ 0.042 mm (0.0008 ~
0.0017 in)
|
|
(6) |
If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow, remove
the upper and lower bearing and then install a new bearings
with the same color mark. Recheck the oil clearance.
Do not file, shim, or scrape the bearings or the
caps to adjust clearance.
|
|
(7) |
If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect,
try the next larger or smaller bearing. Recheck the oil clearance.
If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by
using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings, replace
the crankshaft and start over.
|
If the marks are indecipherable because of an
accumulation of dirt and dust, do not scrub them with
a wire brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent
or detergent.
|
|
(8) |
Select the bearing by using the selection table.
Letters have been stamped on the side of block as a mark
for the size of each of the 5 main journal bores.
Use them, and the numbers or letters stamped on the crank
(marks for main journal size), to choose the correct bearings.

Check the crankshaft end play.
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying
the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver.
Crankshaft end play
Standard : 0.05 ~ 0.25 mm (0.0020 ~ 0.0098 in)
Limit : 0.30 mm (0.0118 in)
|
If the end play is greater than specification, replace the center
bearing.
