16. REMOVE REAR OIL SEAL RETAINER
(a) Remove the 4 bolts.
(b) Using a screwdriver, remove the oil seal retainer by prying
the portions between the oil seal retainer and main bear-
ing cap.
17. CHECK CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while mov-
ing the rod back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance:
0.15 - 0.35 mm (0.0059 - 0.0138 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance:
0.45 mm (0.0177 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
connecting rod assembly. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
18. 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.
(c) Using a soft-faced hammer, lightly tap the connecting rod
bolt and lift the cap and lower bearing.
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 bearing is 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 (See page EM-85).
Torque: 40 N´m (400 kgf´cm, 29 ft´lbf)
NOTICE:
Do not turn the crankshaft.
(i) Remove the connecting rod cap
(See procedure (b) and (c) above).
(j) Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.
Standard oil clearance:
STD0.016 - 0.048 mm (0.0006 - 0.0019 in.)
U/S 0.250.015 - 0.058 mm (0.0006 - 0.0023 in.)
Maximum oil clearance:
0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the bear-
ings. If necessary, grind or replace the crankshaft.

19. REMOVE PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD AS-
SEMBLIES
(a) Using a ridge reamer, remove all the carbon from the top
of the cylinder.
(b) Cover the rod bolts with a short piece of hose to protect
the crankshaft from damage.
(c) Push out the piston and connecting rod assembly and the
upper bearing though the top of the cylinder block.

20. CHECK CRANKSHAFT THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying
the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver.
Standard thrust clearance:
0.02 - 0.20 mm (0.0008 - 0.0079 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance:
0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
thrust washers as a set.
Thrust washer thickness:
STD2.430 - 2.480 mm (0.0957 - 0.0976 in.)
O/S 0.1252.493 - 2.543 mm (0.0981 - 0.1001 in.)

bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
(b) Using the removed main bearing cap bolts, pry the main
bearing cap back and forth, and remove the 5 main bear-
ing caps, 5 lower bearings and 2 lower thrust washers
(No.3 main bearing cap only).
HINT:
Keep the lower bearing inserted together with cap.
Arrange the main bearing caps and lower thrust washers
in correct order.
(c) Lift out the crankshaft.
