CYLINDER BLOCK DISASSEMBLY

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE


    1. A01XFGX

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

      Standard thrust clearance
      0.15 to 0.35 mm (0.00591 to 0.0138 in.)
      Maximum thrust clearance
      0.40 mm (0.0157 in.)

      If the thrust clearance is more than the maximum, replace the connecting rod assembly. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.

  2. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD OIL CLEARANCE


    1. Check that the matchmarks on the connecting rod and cap are aligned to ensure correct reassembly.

      Tech Tips

      The matchmarks on the connecting rods and caps are for ensuring correct reassembly.

    2. A01XGO2

      Remove the 2 connecting rod cap bolts.

    3. Using the 2 removed connecting rod cap bolts, remove the connecting rod cap and lower bearing by wiggling the connecting rod cap right and left.

      Tech Tips

      Keep the lower bearing installed to the connecting rod cap.

    4. Clean the crank pin and bearing.
