CAUTION: The connecting rod bearing nuts, bolts and
main bearing securing bolts MUST be renewed during assembly and torque tightened as de- scribed in Section 2.1, SPS Joint Control Sys- tem.
. Ensuring that the main bearing caps are marked relative
to the cylinder block, remove the main bearing cap bolts
and remove the caps. Carefully
lift out the crankshaft.
Place the crankshaft
on suitable blocks on a bench. Re- move and discard the bearing shells and the thrust
washers. Clean the cylinder block, crankshaft and bearing
caps.
. Check the crankshaft journals for wear and ovality, for tol- erances - see Service Data in the Preliminary Pages.
. If any ofthe dimensions are outside the stated tolerances,
then the Crankshaft must be renewed.
Fit suitable bolts to the oil gallery plugs and pull to remove
(Fig.
1 ). Check all cylinder block oil galleries for cracks and
blockages. Fit new '0' rings to the oil gallew plugs, lubri- cate the '0' rings and fit the plugs to the cylinder block oil
galleries.
Check all bearing housings for cracks, distortion and any
signs of bearing movement, i.e. scoring or overheating,
renew as necessary.
Checkthecylinder block/cylinder head mating surface for
warping, bowing and cracks.
Check the bore wear in the cylinder block with a suitable
comparator (Fig.
2). This must be done in at least six posi- tions in the bore (Fig. 3).
Maximum bore wear normally occurs towards the
top of the bore, across its thrust axis.
If standard size replacement pistons are being fitted,
they must bethesamegradeasthe markingsonthe
cylinder block.
If new piston
ringsare being fitted without reboring,
de-glaze the cylinder bores using a hone or glaze buster. This operation will not increase the size of
the bores and will givethe bores across-hatchedfin- ish.

0 1 Insert each new piston ring into the cylinder bore, (1 Fig. 1) ensuring they are square in the cylinders and checkthe gap using a strip gauge (2 Fig. 1).
. If the gap is insufficient, then a small flat file or carborun- dum stone can be used on the butting ends of the ring. En- sure that after filing no burrs remain.
Ensure that the rings are not inter
-mixed after they
have been gapped and that each piston/ring assem- bly is matched to its respective bore.
Measure the piston skirt clearance using a long strip
gauge. Insert the strip gauge down the right-hand side of
the cylinder bore, insert the correct piston INVERTED into
the bore (with the piston pin parallel to the axis of the
crankshaft).
. Push the piston down the cylinder until it reaches its
tightest point in the bore. At this point, withdraw the strip
gauge; a steady resistance should be felt.
1 If the tolerances are outside those given in Service Data in
the Preliminary Pages, the pistons must be renewed as a
complete set.
