6. Remove the bolts. To prevent warpage, unscrew the
bolts in sequence 1/3 turn at a time; repeat the
sequence until all bolts are loosened.
Remove the rod caps/bearings and main caps/bear-
ings, Keep all caps/bearings in order
Lift the crankshaft out of the engine. being careful
not to damage the journals.

Remove the upper bearing halves from the connecting
rods, and set them aside with their respective caps.
Reinstall the main caps and bearings on the engine
in proper order.
lf you can feel a ridge of metal or hard carbon
around the top of each cvlinder, remove it with a
ridge reamer. Follow the reamer manufacturer's
instructions. lf the ridge is not removed, it may
damage the pistons as they 8re pushed out.

Use the wooden handle of a hammer to drive the
pistons out.
13.Reinstall the connecting rod bearings and caps after
removing each piston/connecting rod assembly.
To avoid mixup on reassembly, mark each piston/
connecting rod assembly with its cylinder number.
NOTE: The existing number on the connecting rod
does not indicate its position in the engine, it indi-
cates the rod bore size.

Crankshaft
Inspection
1. Clean the crankshaft oil passages with pipe cleaners
or a suitable brush.
2. Check the keyway and threads.
Alignment
3. Measure the runout on all main journals to make
sure the crank is not bent. The difference between
measurements on each journal must not be more
than the service limit.
Crankshaft Total Indicated Runout:
Standard lNew):0.03 mm (0.001 in) max.
Service Limit: 0.04 mm {0.002 in)
DIAL INDICATORRotate two completerevolut|ons.
Suppon with lathe-lype tool or V-blocks.

4. Measure out-of-round at the middle of each rod and
main journal in two places. The difference between
measurements on each lournal must not be more
than the service limit.
Journal Out-of-Round:
Standard (Newl:0.005 mm 10.0002 inl max.
Service Limit: 0.010 mm (0.000i1in)

5. Measure taper at the edges of each rod and mainjournal. The difference between measurements on
each iournal must not be more than the service
limit.

Engine Oil
Inspection
2.
1.Park the vehicle on level ground, and turn off theengine. Allow the oil a few minutes to drain backinto the oil pan so the dipstick will show the actuallevet,
Make certain that the oil level indicated on the dip-stick is between the upper and lower marks. Insertthe dipstick carefully to avoid bending it.
lf the level has dropped close to the lower mark,add oil until it reaches the upper mark.
