4. Measure outerdiameter "Op"ofeach crankshaft pinjour-
nal.
5. Calculate connecting rodbearing clearance.
Connecting rodbearing clearance
=
C-Dp
Standard:
0.014 -0.039 mm(0.0006 •0.0015 in)
Limit: 0.1mm (0.004 in)
6. Ifitexceeds thelimit, replace bearing.
7. Ifclearance cannotbeadjusted withinthestandard ofany
bearing, grindcrankshaft journalanduseundersized bear-
ing. Refer tostep 7of "BEARING CLEARANCE -Main
bearing" (EM-52).
CONNECTING RODBUSHING CLEARANCE (Smallend)
1. Measure innerdiameter "C"ofbushing.
8.
Ifbearing, crankshaft orconnecting rodisreplaced witha
new one, select connecting rodbearing according tothe
following table.
Connecting rodbearing gradenumber:
Grade numbers arepunched ineither Arabic orRoman numer-
als.
Method B(Using plastigage)
CAUTION:
• Donot turn crankshaft orconnecting rodwhile plastigage is
being inserted.
• When bearing clearance exceedsthespecified limit,ensure
that theproper bearing hasbeen installed. Thenifexces-
sive bearing clearance exists,useathicker mainbearing or
undersized bearingsothat thespecified bearingclearance
is obtained.

1. Drive insmall endbushing untilitis flush withendsurface
of rod.

Be sure toalign theoilholes.

2. Ream thebushing sothat clearance withpiston piniswithin
specification.
Clearance betweenconnecting rodbushing andpiston

Assembly PISTON
1. Install newsnap ringonone side ofpiston pinhole.
2. Heat piston to60 to70°C (140to158°F) andassemble piston,
piston pin,connecting rodand new snap ring.

• Align thedirection ofpiston andconnecting rod.
• Numbers stampedonconnecting rodand capcorrespond to
each cylinder.
• After assembly, makesureconnecting rodswings
smoothly.

1. Set main bearings intheir proper positions oncylinder
block andmain bearing cap.

• Confirm thatcorrect mainbearings areused. Referto
"Inspection" (EM-52).
• Apply engine oiltobearing surfaces.

2.
Install crankshaft andmain bearing capsandtighten bolts
to the specified torque.

• Apply newengine oiltobolt threads andseat surface.
• Prior totightening bearingcapbolts, placebearing capin
its proper position byshifting crankshaft inthe axial direc-
tion.
• Tighten bearing capbolts gradually intwo orthree stages.
Start withcenter bearing andmove outward sequentially.
• After securing bearingcapbolts, makesurecrankshaft
turns smoothly byhand.

3. Measure crankshaft endplay.

Crankshaft endplay:
Standard:
0.060 -0.180 mm(0.0024 -0.0071 in)
Limit: 0.3 mm (0.012 in)
If beyond thelimit, replace thrustbearing witha

new one.

4. Install connecting rodbearings inconnecting rodsandcon-
necting rodcaps.

• Confirm thatcorrect bearings areused. Referto
"Inspection" (EM-52).
• Install bearings sothat oilhole inconnecting rodaligns with
oil hole ofbearing.
• Apply engine oiltobolt threads andbearing surfaces.

5. Install pistons withconnecting rods.
a. Install themintocorresponding cylinderswithTool.

• Becareful nottoscratch cylinder wallbyconnecting rod.
• Arrange sothat front mark onpiston headfaces toward
front ofengine.
• Apply engine oiltopiston ringsandsliding surface ofpis-
ton.

b. Install connecting rodcaps.
Tighten connecting rodcap nuts tothe specified torque.

tD.J:
Connecting rodcap nuts
(1) Tighten to13.72 to15.68 N'm(1.399 to1.599
kg-m, 10.120 to11.566 ft-Ib).
(2) Turn nutsto35° to40° degrees clockwise withan
angle wrench. Ifan angle wrench isnot avail-
able tighten nutsto23 to28 N'm (2.3to2.9 kg-m,
17 to21 ft-Ib).

6. Measure connecting rodside clearance.

Connecting rodside clearance:
Standard:
0.200 -0.470 mm(0.0079 -0.0185 in)
limit:
0.52 mm(0.0205 in)
If beyond thelimit, replace connecting rod
and/or crankshaft.

7. Install rearoilseal retainer.
a. Before installing rearoilseal retainer, removealltraces of
liquid gasket fromcylinder blockandretainer witha
scraper.
b. Apply acontinuous beadofliquid gasket torear oilseal
retainer.
• Apply around innersideofbolt holes.
