CYLINDER BLOCK DISASSEMBLY


  1. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE


    1. A01H1F9

      Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while moving the connecting rod back and forth.

      Maximum thrust clearance
      0.70 mm (0.0276 in.)

      If the thrust clearance is greater than the maximum, replace one or more connecting rods as necessary.

      If necessary, replace the crankshaft.

  2. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD OIL CLEARANCE

    14. A01GWEWE01

      Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.

      Standard oil clearance
      0.025 to 0.050 mm (0.000984 to 0.00197 in.)
      Maximum oil clearance
      0.070 mm (0.00276 in.)

      If the oil clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the bearings. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.

      Tech Tips


      • If replacing a bearing, replace it with one that has the same number as its respective connecting rod cap. Each bearing's standard thickness is indicated by a 1, 2, 3 or 4 mark on its surface.

      • Select the correct bearing by adding together the number marks imprinted on the connecting rod big end and crank pin.

        Example:

        Connecting rod "1" + Crank pin "2" = 3 (Use bearing "3")
