(h) Install the connecting rod cap with the 2 nuts (See page EM−103 ).
NOTICE:
Do not turn the crankshaft.
(i) Remove the 2 nuts and connecting rod cap (See proce-
dure (b) and (c) above).
(j) Measure the Plastigage at its widest point. Standard oil clearance:
STD0.032 − 0.050 mm (0.0013 − 0.0020 in.)
U/S 0.250.033 − 0.073 mm (0.0013 − 0.0029 in.)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the bear-
ings. If necessary, grind or replace the crankshaft.
HINT:
If using a standard bearing, replace with one having the same
number. If the number of the bearing cannot be determined, se-
lect the correct bearing by adding together the numbers im-
printed on the connecting rod and crankshaft, then selecting
the bearing with the same number as the total. There are 5 sizes
of standard bearings, marked ”2”, ”3”, ”4”, ”5” and ”6” according-
ly.

Use a piston with the same number mark as the cylinder bore
diameter marked on the cylinder block.
(b) Inspect the piston ting groove clearance. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between
new piston ring and the wall of the piston ring groove.
Ring groove clearance:
