14. REMOVE CONNECTING ROD CAPS AND CHECK OIL
CLEARANCE
(a) Check the matchmarks on the connecting rod cap and
connecting rod to ensure correct reassembly.
(b) Remove the connecting rod cap nuts.
(c) Using a plastic− faced hammer, lightly tap the connecting
rod bolts and lift off the connecting rod cap.
HINT:
Keep the lower bearing inserted with the connecting rod cap.
(d) Cover the connecting rod bolts with a short piece of hose to protect the crankshaft from damage.
(e) Clean the crank pin and bearing.
(f) Check the crank pin and bearing for pitting and scratches.
If the crank pin or bearing is damaged, replace the bearings. If
necessary, grind or replace the crankshaft.
(g) Lay a strip of Plastigage across the crank pin.

(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.

INSPECTION
1. CLEAN CYLINDER BLOCK
(a) Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the top surface of the cylinder block.
(b) Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylin-
der block.
2. INSPECT CYLINDER BLOCK
(a) Inspect for flatness. Using a precision straight edge and feeler gauge, mea-
sure the surfaces contacting the cylinder head gasket for
warpage.
Maximum warpage: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If warpage is greater than maximum, replace the cylinder block.
(b) Visually check the cylinder for vertical scratches.
If deep scratches are present, rebore all the 6 cylinders. If nec-
essary, replace the cylinder block.
(c) Inspect the cylinder bore diameter.
HINT:
There are 3 sizes of the standard cylinder bore diameter,
marked ”1”, ”2” and ”3” accordingly. The mark is stamped on the
top of the cylinder block.
