DISASSEMBLY OF CYLINDER BLOCK
(See Components on page EM±131)
1. REMOVE REAR OIL SEAL RETAINER (a) Remove the seven bolts.
(b) Remove the oil seal retainer by prying the portions
between the oil seal retainer and main bearing cap with
a screwdriver.
(c) Remove the O±ring.
2. CHECK CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while
moving the two connecting rods back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance: 0.160±0.290 mm
(0.0063±0.0114 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance: 0.35 mm (0.0138 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
connecting rod assembly(s). If necessary, replace the crank-
shaft.
Connecting rod thickness: 22.880±22.920 mm (0.9008±0.9024 in.)
3. REMOVE CONNECTING ROD CAPS AND CHECK OILCLEARANCE
(a) Using a punch or numbering stamp, place thematchmarks on the connecting rod and cap to ensure
correct reassembly.
(b) Using SST, remove the two connecting rod bolts.
SST 09011±38121
(c) Using the two removed connecting rod bolts, remove the connecting rod cap and lower bearing by wiggling
the connecting rod cap right and left.
HINT: Keep the lower bearing inserted with the connecting rod cap.

(d) Clean the crank pin and bearings.
(e) C h e c k t h e c r a n k p i n a n d b e a r i n g f o r p i t t i n g a n dscratches.
If the crank pin or bearing are damaged, replace the bear-
ings. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
(f) Lay a strip of Plastigage across the crank pin.
(g) Install the connecting rod cap with the two bolts.
(See step 6 on pages EM±159 and 160)
Torque: 1st 25 N Vm (250 kgf Vcm, 18 ft Vlbf)
2nd Turn 90 5
NOTICE: Do not turn the crankshaft.
(h) Remove the two bolts, connecting rod cap and lower
bearing. (See procedure (b) and (c) above)
(i) Measure the Plastigage at widest point.
Standard oil clearance: 0.027±0.053 mm (0.0011±0.0021 in.)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.065 mm (0.0026 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
