INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
ACRANKSHAFT THRUST BEARING INSTALLATION
(1) Install the two thrust bearing in the number 3 bearing
bore in the cylinder block. For easier installation, apply
engine oil to the bearings; this will help hold them in
position.
(2) The thrust bearings must be installed with their groove
side toward the crankshaft web.
BCRANKSHAFT BEARING INSTALLATION
(1) From the following table, select a bearing whose size
is appropriate for the crankshaft journal outside diameter.

For example, if the crankshaft journal outside diameter
ID color is “yellow” and cylinder block bearing bore ID
mark is “1”, select a bearing whose ID mark is “1”.
If there is no ID color paint on the crankshaft, measure
the journal outside diameter and select a bearing
appropriate for the measured value.
(2) Install the bearings having an oil groove to the cylinder
block.
(3) Install the bearings having no oil groove to the bearing
cap.
CBEARING CAP / BEARING CAP BOLT
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the bearing caps so the arrow points to the timing
belt side.
(2) Before installing the bearing cap bolts, check that the
shank length of each bolt meets the limit. If the limit is
exceeded, replace the bolt.
Limit: Max. 71.1 mm
(3) Apply engine oil to the threaded portion and bearing
surface of the bolt.Crankshaft bearing size

(4) Tighten the bolts to 25 Nm in the specified tightening
sequence.
(5) Make a paint mark on the head of each bolt.
(6) Make a paint mark on the bearing cap at the position
90° from the paint mark made on the bolt in the direction
of tightening the bolt.
(7) According to the specified tightening sequence, give a
90° turn to each bolt and make sure that the paint mark
on the bolt and that on the cap are in alignment.
Caution
If the bolt is turned less than 90°, proper fastening
performance may not be expected. When tightening
the bolt, therefore, be careful to give a sufficient turn
to it.
(8) After installing the bearing caps, make sure that the
crankshaft turns smoothly and the end play is correct.
If the end play exceeds the limit, replace No. 3 crankshaft
bearings.
Standard value: 0.05 – 0.25 mm
Limit: 0.4 mm
DOIL SEAL INSTALLATION
Using the special tool, knock the oil seal into the oil seal
case.

ESEALANT APPLICATION TO OIL SEAL CASE
Specified sealant:
Mitsubishi Genuine Part No. MD970389 or equivalent
NOTE
(1) Be sure to install the case quickly while the sealant is
wet (within 15 minutes).
(2) After installation, keep the sealed area away from the
oil and coolant for approx. one hour.
INSPECTION
CRANKSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE (PLASTIGAGE
METHOD)
(1) Remove oil from the crankshaft journal and the crankshaft
bearing.
(2) Install the crankshaft.
(3) Cut the Plastigage to the same length as the width of
the bearing and place it on the journal in parallel with
its axis.
(4) Install the crankshaft bearing cap carefully and tighten
the bolts to the specified torque.
(5) Carefully remove the crankshaft bearing cap.
(6) Measure the width of the Plastigage at its widest part
by using a scale printed on the Plastigage package.
Standard value: 0.02 – 0.04 mm
Limit: 0.1 mm
CYLINDER BLOCK
(1) Visually check for scratches, rust, and corrosion.
Use also a flaw detecting agent for the check. If defects
are evident, correct, or replace.
(2) Using a straightedge and feeler gauge, check the block
top surface for warpage. Make sure that the surface is
free from gasket chips and other foreign matter.
Standard value: 0.05 mm
Limit: 0.1 mm
(3) If the distortion is excessive, correct within the allowable
limit or replace.
Grinding limit: 0.2 mm
Includes/combined with cylinder head grinding
Cylinder block height (when new): 284 mm
(4) Check cylinder walls for scratches and seizure. If defects
are evident, correct (bored to oversize) or replace.

(5) Using cylinder gauge, measure the cylinder bore and
cylindricity. If worn badly, correct cylinder to an oversize
and replace piston and piston rings. Measure at the points
shown in illustration.
Standard value:
Cylinder I.D. 85.00 – 85.03 mm
Cylindricity 0.01 mm or less
BORING CYLINDER
(1) Oversize pistons to be used should be determined on
the basis of the largest bore cylinder.
Piston size identification
SizeIdentification mark
0.50 O.S.50
1.00 O.S.100
NOTE
Size mark is stamped on the piston top.
(2) Measure outside diameter of piston to be used. Measure
it in thrust direction as shown.
(3) Based on the measured piston O.D. calculate boring finish
dimension.
Boring finish dimension = Piston O.D. + (clearance
between piston O.D. and cylinder) – 0.02 mm
(honing margin)
(4) Bore all cylinders to the calculated boring finish dimension.
Caution
To prevent distortion that may result from temperature
rise during honing, bore cylinders, working from No.
2, No. 4, No. 1 to No. 3.
(5) Hone to final finish dimension (piston O.D. + clearance
between piston O.D. and cylinder).
(6) Check clearance between piston and cylinder.
Clearance between piston and cylinder:
0.02 – 0.04 mm
NOTE
When boring cylinders, finish all of four cylinders to same
oversize. Do not bore only one cylinder to an oversize.

DISASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS
ASNAP RING REMOVAL
Lay the unit with the compressor cover side facing down
and using snap ring pliers, remove the compressor cover
attaching snap ring.
Caution
When removing the snap ring, hold it with fingers to
prevent it from springing away.
BTURBINE WHEEL ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Remove the turbine wheel assembly, striking the
circumference of the compressor cover with a plastic hammer.
The turbine wheel assembly may be a little hard to remove
due to an O-ring put on the outer circumference.
CLEANING
(1) Use a clean cleaning oil commercially available. Do not
use corrosive cleaning oils as they could damage to some
parts.
(2) Use a plastic scraper or hard brush to clean aluminum
parts.
REASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS
AO-RING INSTALLATION
Apply a light coat of engine oil to a new O-ring and fit in
the turbine wheel assembly groove.
Caution
When installing the O-ring, use care not to damage it.
A damaged O-ring causes oil leaks.
BTURBINE WHEEL ASSEMBLY
(1) Apply a light coat of engine oil to the periphery of the
O-ring.
(2) Install the turbine wheel assembly to the compressor cover
in relation to the dowel pin.
Caution
Use care not to damage the blades of turbine wheel
and compressor wheel.
