CYLINDER BLOCK DISASSEMBLY

INSPECT CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE

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

   

   Standard thrust clearance
   0.160 to 0.512 mm (0.00630 to 0.0202 in.)

   Maximum thrust clearance
   0.512 mm (0.0202 in.)

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

INSPECT CONNECTING ROD OIL CLEARANCE

1. Check the alignment marks on the connecting rod and cap to ensure correct reassembly.

   Tech Tips

   Keep the lower bearing and connecting rod cap together.

3. Clean the crank pin and bearing.

4. Check the crank pin and bearing for pitting and scratches.

   If the crank pin or bearing is damaged, replace the bearings. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.

5. Lay a strip of Plastigage on the crank pin.

7. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads and under the heads of the connecting rod bolts.

   

8. Install and alternately tighten the bolts of the connecting rod cap in several steps.

   Torque:

   40 N*m  { 408 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*lbf }

   Note

   Do not turn the crankshaft during the measurement.

   If any one of the connecting rod bolts does not meet the torque specification, replace the connecting rod bolts.

9. Mark the front of each connecting rod bolt with paint.

10. Tighten the bolts 90° as shown in the illustration.

    Note

    Do not turn the crankshaft during the measurement.

11. Remove the 2 bolts and connecting rod cap.

    Tech Tips

    Keep the lower bearing and connecting rod cap together.

12. Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.

    

    Text in Illustration

    *1	Plastigage
    *2	Number Mark

    Standard oil clearance
    0.030 to 0.063 mm (0.00118 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 bearing. If necessary, grind or replace the crankshaft.

    Tech Tips

    If replacing a bearing, select a new one with the same number as marked on the connecting rod. There are 3 sizes of standard bearings, marked "1", "2" and "3" accordingly.

    Standard crank pin diameter
    51.492 to 51.500 mm (2.0272 to 2.0276 in.)

    Standard Connecting Rod Big End Inside Diameter
    Item Specified Condition Mark 1 54.500 to 54.508 mm (2.1457 to 2.1460 in.) Mark 2 54.509 to 54.516 mm (2.1460 to 2.1463 in.) Mark 3 54.517 to 54.524 mm (2.1463 to 2.1466 in.)

    Standard Size Bearing Center Wall Thickness
    Item Specified Condition Mark 1 1.483 to 1.487 mm (0.0584 to 0.0585 in.) Mark 2 1.488 to 1.491 mm (0.0586 to 0.0587 in.) Mark 3 1.492 to 1.495 mm (0.0587 to 0.0589 in.)

13. Perform the inspection above for each cylinder.

REMOVE PISTON WITH CONNECTING ROD

1. Using a ridge reamer, remove all the carbon from the top of the cylinder.

   

2. Remove the 8 bolts, 4 connecting rod caps and 4 lower bearings.

3. Push the piston, connecting rod assembly and upper bearing through the top of the cylinder block.

   Tech Tips

   • Keep the bearings, connecting rod and cap together.

   • Arrange the piston and connecting rod assemblies in the correct order.

   • Be sure to arrange the removed piston and connecting rod assemblies in such a way that they can be reinstalled exactly as before.

REMOVE CONNECTING ROD BEARING

1. Remove the connecting rod bearings from the connecting rods and connecting rod caps.

   Tech Tips

   Arrange the removed parts in the correct order.

INSPECT CRANKSHAFT THRUST CLEARANCE

1. Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver.

   

   Standard thrust clearance
   0.04 to 0.24 mm (0.00157 to 0.00945 in.)

   Maximum thrust clearance
   0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)

   If the thrust clearance is more than the maximum, replace the thrust washers as a set. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.

   Standard thrust washer thickness
   1.93 to 1.98 mm (0.0760 to 0.0780 in.)

REMOVE CRANKSHAFT

1. Using several steps, uniformly loosen and remove the 10 bearing cap bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration.
