Use a dial gauge to read displacement in axial (thrust) direction of
crankshaft.
If its limit is exceeded, replace thrust bearing with new standard
one or oversize one to obtain standard thrust play.
Crankshaft thrust play
Standard : 0.11 – 0.31 mm (0.0043 – 0.0122 in.)
Limit : 0.35 mm (0.0138 in.)
Out-of-round and taper (uneven wear) of journals
An unevenly worn crankshaft journal shows up as a difference in
diameter at a cross section or along its length (or both). This dif-
ference, if any, is determined by taking micrometer readings. If
any one of journals is badly damaged or if amount of uneven wear
in the sense explained above exceeds its limit, regrind or replace
crankshaft.
Crankshaft out-of-round and taper
Limit : 0.01 mm (0.0004 in.)
Out-of-round : A – B
Taper : a – b
Main Bearings
General information
Service main bearings are available in standard size and
0.25 mm (0.0098 in.) undersize, and each of them has 5
kinds of bearings differing in tolerance.
Upper half of bearing (1) has an oil groove (2) as shown in
figure.
Install this half with oil groove to cylinder block.
Lower half of bearing does not have an oil groove.
Visual inspection
Check bearings for pitting, scratches, wear or damage.
If any malcondition is found, replace both upper and lower halves.
Never replace either half without replacing the other half.
Main bearing clearance
Check clearance by using gaging plastic according to the follow-
ing procedure.
1) Remove bearing caps.
2) Clean bearings and main journals.

ENGINE MECHANICAL (M13 ENGINE) 6A1-77
3) Place a piece of gaging plastic (1) the full width of bearing
(parallel to crankshaft) on journal, avoiding oil hole.
4) Tighten bearing cap No.1 bolts (1) – (10) and No.2 bolts (11)
– (20) gradually as follows.
a) Tighten bolts (1) – (10) to 30 N·m (3.0 kg-m, 22.0 lb-ft)
according to numerical order in figure.
b) In the same manner as in Step a), tighten them to 50 N·m
(5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft).
c) In the same manner as in step a), retighten them to 60°.
d) Tighten bolts (11) – (20) to 22 N·m (2.2 kg-m, 16.0 lb-ft)
according to numerical order in figure.
Tightening torque
Crank shaft bearing No.1 bolts (1) – (10)
: 50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft) and extra tighten 60°
Crank shaft bearing No.2 bolts (11) – (20)
: 22 N·m (2.2 kg-m, 16.0 lb-ft)
5) Remove bearing caps and using scale (1) on gaging plastic
(2) envelop, measure gaging plastic width at its widest point.
If clearance exceeds its limit, replace bearing. Always
replace both upper and lower inserts as a unit.
A new standard bearing may produce proper clearance. If
not, it will be necessary to regrind crankshaft journal for use
of 0.25 mm undersize bearing.
After selecting new bearing, recheck clearance.
Main bearing clearance
Standard : 0.025 – 0.045 mm (0.0010 – 0.0018 in.)
Limit : 0.065 mm (0.0026 in.)
NOTE:
Do not rotate crankshaft while gaging plastic is installed.
NOTE:
After checking main bearing clearance, make sure that
replace bearing cap No.1 bolts new one.

Rear Oil Seal
Carefully inspect oil seal (1) for wear or damage.
If its lip is worn or damaged, replace it.
For oil seal installation, press-fit rear oil seal (1) to oil seal housing
(2) by using special tool as shown in the figure.

Flywheel
If ring gear is damaged, cracked or worn, replace flywheel.
If the surface contacting clutch disc is damaged, or exces-
sively worn, replace flywheel.
Check flywheel for face runout with a dial gauge.
If runout exceeds its limit, replace flywheel.
Flywheel on runout
Limit : 0.2 mm (0.0079 in.)
Sensor plate
Check sensor plate for crack or damage. If malcondition is
found, replace it.

Install it to cylinder block (3), and the other half without oil
groove to bearing cap.
Make sure that two halves are painted in the same color.
3) Install thrust bearings (1) to cylinder block between No.2 and
No.3 cylinders. Face oil groove (2) sides to crank webs.
4) Confirm that dowel pins (3) are installed to intake side of
each journal.
5) Install crankshaft to cylinder block.NOTE:
All parts to be installed must be perfectly clean.
Be sure to oil crankshaft journals, journal bearings,
thrust bearings, crankpins, connecting rod bearings,
pistons, piston rings and cylinder bores.
Journal bearings, bearings caps, connecting rods, rod
bearings, rod bearing caps, pistons and piston rings
are in combination sets. Do not disturb such combina-
tion and make sure that each part goes back to where
it came from, when installing.
NOTE:
When installing sensor plate, align spring pin (3) on
crankshaft and hole of sensor plate.
