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: 0.06 mm (0.0024 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: 61.984±62.000 mm
(2.4403±2.4409 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±77 or EM±80).
(b) Check each main journal and crank pin for taper andout±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.

(a) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under
the heads of the connecting rod cap bolts.
(b) At first, install and alternately tighten the bolts of the connecting rod cap in several passes.
Torque: 29 N Vm (300 kgf Vcm, 22 ft Vlbf)
If any one of the connecting rod cap bolts does not meet the
torque specification, replace the cap bolt.
(c) Mark the front of the connecting rod cap bolt with paint.
(d) Retighten the connecting rod cap bolts 905 in the
numerical order shown.
(e) Check that the painted mark is now at a 905 angle to the
front.
(f) Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
(g) Check the connecting rod thrust clearance. (See step 2 on page EM±77)
7. INSTALL REAR OIL SEAL RETAINER (a) Remove any old packing (FIPG) material and be carefulnot to drop any oil on the contact surfaces of the retainer
and cylinder block.
w Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the
old packing (FIPG) material from the gasket surfaces
and sealing groove.
w Thoroughly clean all components to remove all debris.
w Using a non±residue solvent, clean both sealing
surfaces.
(b) Apply seal packing to the retainer as shown in the illustration.
Seal packing: Part No. 08826±00080 or equivalent
w Install a nozzle that has been cut to a 2±3 mm
(0.08±0.12 in.) opening.
w Parts must be assembled within 3 minutes of
application. Otherwise the material must be removed
and reapplied.
w Immediately remove nozzle from the tube and reinstall
cap.

(n) Connect the following connectors: (1) Two connectors to engine room main wire
(2) Igniter connector
(3) Theft deterrent horn connector
(o) Install the wire harness with the two wire clamps.

Fuel Cut RPM
INSPECTION OF FUEL CUT RPM
1. WARM UP ENGINEAllow the engine to warm up to normal operating
temperature.
2. CONNECT TACHOMETER Connect the test probe of a tachometer to terminal IG of the
check connector.
NOTICE
w Never allow the tachometer terminal to touch ground as
it could result in damage to the igniter and/or ignition
coil.
w As some tachometers are not compatible with this
ignition system, we recommend that you confirm the
compatibility of yours before use.
3. INSPECT FUEL CUT OPERATION
(a) Increase the engine speed to at least 2,500 rpm.
(b) Check for injector operating noise.
(c) Check that when the throttle lever is released, injectoroperation noise stops momentarily and then resumes.
HINT:
w The vehicle should be stopped.
w Measure with the A/C OFF.
Fuel return rpm: 1,400 rpm
4. REMOVE TACHOMETER
