12. REMOVE KNOCK SENSOR
Using SST, remove the knock sensor.
SST 09816−30010
13. REMOVE REAR OIL SEAL RETAINER
Remove the 6 bolts, retainer and gasket.
14. CHECK CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while mov-
ing the connecting rod back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance:
0.160 − 0.312 mm (0.0063 − 0.0123 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance: 0.35 mm (0.0138 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
connecting rod assembly. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
15. REMOVE CONNECTING ROD CAPS AND CHECK OIL
CLEARANCE
(a) Check the matchmarks on the connecting rod and cap to
ensure correct reassembly.
(b) Remove the 2 connecting rod cap nuts.

Torque: 25 N·m (250 kgf·cm, 18 ft·lbf)
If any one of the cap nuts does not meet the torque specifica-
tion, replace the connecting rod bolt and cap nut as a set.
(3) Mark the front of the cap nut with the paint.
(4) Retighten the cap nuts 90° as shown.
(5) Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle
to the front.
(c) Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
(d) Check the connecting rod thrust clearance (See page
EM−81).
10. INSTALL REAR OIL SEAL RETAINER
Install a new gasket and the retainer with the 6 bolts.

1. NORMALLY
OPENOpens and
closes circuits,
thereby
stopping (1) or
allowing (2)
current flow.
RESISTOR
An electrical component with a
fixed resistance, placed in a circuit
to reduce voltage to a specific
value.
RESISTOR, TAPPED
A resistor which supplies two or
more different non adjustable
resistance values.
SENSOR (Thermistor)
A resistor which varies its
resistance with temperature.
SHORT PIN
Used to provide an unbroken
connection within a junction
block.
SOLENOID
An electromagnetic coil which
forms a magnetic field when
current flows, to move a plunger,
etc.SWITCH, DOUBLE THROW
A switch which continuously
passes current through one set
of contacts or the other.
SWITCH,
IGNITION
A key operated switch with
several positions which allows
various circuits, particularly the
primary ignition circuit, to
become operational.
Wires are always
drawn as straight lines
on wiring diagrams.
Crossed wires (1)
without a black dot at
the junction are not
joined; crossed wires
(2) with a black dot or
octagonal (
) mark at
the juction as spliced
(joined) connections. RELAY, DOUBLE THROW
A relay which passes current
through one set of contacts or the
other.
SENSOR, SPEED
Uses magnetic impulses to open
and close a switch to create a
signal for activation of other
components.TRANSISTOR
A solid state device typically used
as an electronic relay; stops or
passes current depending on the
voltage applied at base.º SWITCH, WIPER PARK
Automatically returns wipers to
the stop position when the wiper
switch is turned off. SWITCH, MANUAL SPEAKER
An electromechanical device
which creates sound waves from
current flow.
2. NORMALLY
CLOSED
RESISTOR, VARIABLE OR
RHEOSTAT
A controllable resistor with a
variable rate of resistance.
Also called a potentiometer or
rheostat. 2. NORMALLY
OPEN RELAY
1. NORMALLY
CLOSEDBasically, an electrically
operated switch which may
be normally closed (1) or
open (2).
Current flow through a
small coil creates a
magnetic field which either
opens or closes an
attached switch.
