INSPECTION OF CRANKSHAFT
1. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT FOR RUNOUT(a) Place the crankshaft on V±blocks.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout at thecenter journal.
Maximum circle runout: 0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
If the circle runout is greater than maximum, replace the
crankshaft.
2. INSPECT MAIN JOURNALS AND CRANK PINS (a) Using a micr ometer, measure the diameter of each main
journal and crank pin.
Main journal diameter: 66.988±67.000 mm
(2.6373±2.6378 in.)
Crank pin diameter: 51.982±52.000 mm (2.0465±2.0472 in.)
If the diameter is not as specified, check the oil clearance
(See page EM±136 or 139).
(b) Check each main journal and crank pin for taper and out±of±round as shown.
Maximum taper and out±of±round: 0.02 mm
(0.0008 in.)
If the taper or out±of±round is greater than maximum, re-
place the crankshaft.

REPLACEMENT OF CRANKSHAFT OIL
SEALS
HINT: There are two methods (A and B) to replace the oil seal
which are as follows:
1. REPLACE CRANKSHAFT FRONT OIL SEAL
A. If oil pump is removed from cylinder block: (a) Using a screwdriver, pry out the oil seal.
(b) Using SST and a hammer, tap in a new oil seal until its
surface is flush with the oil pump body edge.
SST 09316±60010 (09316±00010)
(c) Apply MP grease to the oil seal lip.
B. If oil pump is installed to the cylinder block: (a) Using a knife, cut off the oil seal lip.

ASSEMBLY OF CYLINDER BLOCK
(See Components on page EM±131)
HINT:
w Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
w Before installing the parts, apply new engine oil to all
sliding and rotating surfaces.
w Replace all gaskets, O±rings and oil seals with new
parts.
1. INSTALL MAIN BEARINGS HINT:
wMain bearings come in widths of 19.5 mm (0.768 in.) and
22.5 mm (0.886 in.). Install the 22.5 mm (0.886 in.)
bearings in the No.1 and No.5 cylinder block journal
positions with the main bearing caps. Install the 19.5
mm (0.768 in.) bearings in the other positions.
w Upper bearings have an oil groove and oil holes; lower
bearings do not.
(a) Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the cylinder block, and push in the five upper bearings.
(b) Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the main bearing cap, and push in the five lower bearings.
HINT: A number is marked on each main bearing cap indicat-
ing the installation position.
2. INSTALL UPPER THRUST WASHERS Install the two thrust washers under the No.3 journal position
of the block with the oil grooves facing outward.

3. PLACE CRANKSHAFT ON CYLINDER BLOCK
4. INSTALL MAIN BEARING CAP AND LOWER THRUSTWASHERS
A. Place main bearing cap and lower thrust washers on cyl-
inder block
(a) Install the two thrust washers on the No.3 main bearing cap with the grooves facing outward.
(b) Install the main bearing caps in their proper location.
(c) Place the five bearing caps in position on cylinder block.
HINT: Place the bearing caps level and let them return to their
original position by their own weight.
NOTICE: Do not install the main bearing cap by tapping
it.
B. Install main bearing cap nuts HINT:
wThe main bearing cap nuts are tightened in two
progressive steps (steps (b) and (d)).
w If any one of the main bearing cap stud bolts is broken
or deformed, replace it.
(a) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under
the nuts of the main bearing caps.
(b) Install and uniformly tighten the twenty main bearing cap
nuts in several passes in the sequence shown.
Torque: 27 N Vm (275 kgf Vcm, 20 ft Vlbf)
If any one of the main bearing cap nuts does not meet the
torque specification, replace the main bearing cap stud bolt.
