CYLINDER BLOCK DISASSEMBLY

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE


    1. B0077Q6

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

      Standard Thrust Clearance
      0.15 to 0.40 mm (0.00591 to 0.0157 in.)
      Maximum Thrust Clearance
      0.50 mm (0.0197 in.)

      Tech Tips

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

  2. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD OIL CLEARANCE


    1. Check that the matchmarks on the connecting rod sub-assembly and connecting rod cap are aligned.

      Tech Tips

      The matchmarks on the connecting rod sub-assembly and connecting rod cap are guides for correct reassembly.

    2. B0073SS

      Remove the 2 connecting rod cap bolts.

    3. B0074QH

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

      Tech Tips

      Keep the lower connecting rod bearing installed to the connecting rod cap.

    4. Clean the crank pin and connecting rod bearing.

    5. Check the crank pin and connecting rod bearing for pitting or scratches.

    6. B0073GHC03
      *a Plastigage

      Lay a strip of Plastigage on the crank pin.

    7. B00751XC03
      *a Plastigage
      B0073AQ Engine Front

      Ensure that the front mark of the connecting rod cap is facing forward.

    8. Install the connecting rod cap with the 2 connecting rod bolts.

      Note

      Do not turn the crankshaft.

    9. Remove the 2 connecting rod bolts and connecting rod cap.

    10. B0073R3C03
      *a Plastigage
      B0076OOC03
      *a Number Mark

      Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.

      Standard Oil Clearance
      0.032 to 0.052 mm (0.00126 to 0.00205 in.)
      Maximum Oil Clearance
      0.070 mm (0.00276 in.)

      Tech Tips


      • If the oil clearance is more than the maximum, replace the connecting rod bearings. If necessary, inspect the crankshaft.

      • If replacing a connecting rod bearing, select a new one with the same number as marked on the connecting rod cap. There are 4 sizes of standard connecting rod bearings, marked "1", "2", "3" or "4" accordingly.

      Standard Connecting Rod Diameter
      Mark Specified Condition
      1 56.000 to 56.006 mm (2.20472 to 2.20496 in.)
      2 56.007 to 56.012 mm (2.20500 to 2.20519 in.)
      3 56.013 to 56.018 mm (2.20523 to 2.20543 in.)
      4 56.019 to 56.024 mm (2.20547 to 2.20566 in.)
      Standard Connecting Rod Bearing Center Wall Thickness
      Mark Specified Condition
      1 1.481 to 1.484 mm (0.0583 to 0.0584 in.)
      2 1.484 to 1.487 mm (0.0584 to 0.0585 in.)
      3 1.487 to 1.490 mm (0.0585 to 0.0587 in.)
      4 1.490 to 1.493 mm (0.0587 to 0.0588 in.)
      Standard Crankshaft Pin Diameter
      52.992 to 53.000 mm (2.08630 to 2.08661 in.)

      Note

      Completely remove the Plastigage after the measurement.

  3. REMOVE PISTON SUB-ASSEMBLY WITH CONNECTING ROD
