To check main bearing-to-iournal oil clearance,
remove the main caps and bearing halves.
Clean each main iournal and bearing half with a
clean shop towel.
Place one strip of plastigage across each main iour-
na l-
NOTE: lf the engine is still in the car when you bolt
the main cap down to check clearance, the weight
of the crankshaft and flywheel will flatten the plasti'
gage further than just the torque on the cap bolt,
and give you an incorrect reading. For an accurate
reading, support the crank with a jack under the
counterweights and check only one bearing at a
trme.
Reinstall the bearing caps and cap bridge (B18C1,
B18C5 engines only)then torque the bolts.

NOTE: Do not rotate the crankshaft during inspec-
tro n.
Remove the cap bridge (818C1, 818C5 engines
only), caps and bearings again, and measure the
widest part of the plastigage.

PLASTIGAGE STRIP
lf the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow,
{remove the engine if it's still in the car), remove the
crankshaft, and remove the upper half of the bear-
ing. lnstall a new, complete bearing with the same
color code (select the color as shown in the right
column), and recheck the clearance.
CAUTION: Do not file, shim. or scrape the bearings
or the caps to adiust clearance.
lf the plastigage shows the clearance is still incor-
rect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color
listed above or below that one), and check again.
NOTE: lf the oroDer clearance cannot be obtained
by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings.
reolace the crankshaft and start over.

CAUTION: lf the codes ale indecipherable because of
an accumulation oI dirt and dust, do not scrub them
with a wire bru6h or scraper. Clean lhem only with sol-
vent or detergent.

Reolacement
!!@ Do not smoke while working on fuel system. Keep open flame away from your work a.ea.
1. Relieve the fuel pressure(seepagell-118).
2. Jack up the vehicle, and support it with jackstands.
3. Remove the drain bolt, and drain the fuel into an approved container.
4. Remove the rear seat (Hatchbackt Remove the spare tire lid and the protective cover), and access panels, and discon-
nect the 2P and 3P connectors.
5. Remove the EVAP two way valve cover and fuel hose protector, and disconnect the connectors.
6. Disconnect the hoses (see page 11-105). Slide back the clamps, then twist hoses as you pull, to avoid damaging them.
7. Place a tack, or other support, under the tank.
8. Remove the strap nuts, and let the straps fall free.
9. Remove the fuel tank.
lf it sticks on the undercoat applied to its mount, carefully pry it offthe mount.
10. lnstallthe drain bolt with a new washer, then coat the drain bolt with Noxrust 1248. Allow the Noxrust to dry tor 20
minutes.
11. Installthe remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.
