| Maximum Oil Clearance |
|---|
| 0.07 mm (0.00276 in.) |
Note
Remove the Plastigage completely after the measurement.
If the oil clearance is more than the maximum, replace the connecting rod bearings. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
Tech Tips
If replacing a connecting rod bearing, select a new one with the same number as marked on the connecting rod cap. There are 3 sizes of standard connecting rod bearings, marked "1", "2" or "3" accordingly.
| Standard Crank Pin Diameter |
|---|
| 51.492 to 51.500 mm (2.02724 to 2.02756 in.) |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Standard Connecting Rod Bearing Center Wall Thickness | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Type B:

| *b | Number Mark |
Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.
| Standard Oil Clearance |
|---|
| 0.033 to 0.063 mm (0.00130 to 0.00248 in.) |
| Maximum Oil Clearance |
|---|
| 0.07 mm (0.00276 in.) |
Note
Remove the Plastigage completely after the measurement.
If the oil clearance is more than the maximum, replace the connecting rod bearings. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
