        If the oil clearance is more than the maximum, replace the crankshaft bearing.

        If replacing the cylinder block, measure the bearing standard clearance.

        Check the cylinder block journal code and crankshaft journal code and refer to the crankshaft bearing selection chart to select a bearing size.

        (Example) (Excluding No. 3 journal): When the cylinder block journal code is "D" and the crankshaft journal code is "4", select crankshaft bearing selection code "3" from the crankshaft bearing selection chart.

  47. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT


    1. Lift out the crankshaft.

      Tech Tips

      Keep the upper crankshaft bearings and upper thrust washers together with the cylinder block.

  48. REMOVE PISTON WITH PIN


    1. A01J5HGE02

      Check fit between the piston and piston pin.


      1. Try to move the piston back and forth on the piston pin.

        If any movement is felt, replace the piston and pin as a set.

    2. A01J6BIE01

      Remove the piston rings.


      1. Using a piston ring expander, remove the 2 compression rings.

  53. REMOVE NO. 1 BALANCE SHAFT DRIVEN GEAR


    1. A01J63CE01

      Mount the head portion of the balance shaft in a vise.

      Note

      Be careful not to damage the balance shaft.

    2. Remove the bolt.

    3. Remove the No. 1 balance shaft driven gear (A), sliding key (B), No. 1 balance shaft thrust washer (C) and balance shaft thrust spacer (D).

  54. REMOVE NO. 2 BALANCE SHAFT
