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 bear-
ings differing in tolerance.
Upper half of bearing (2) has oil groove (3) as shown in figure.
Install this half with oil groove to cylinder block (1).
On each main bearing cap, arrow mark and number are em-
bossed as shown in figure.
When installing each bearing cap to cylinder block, point arrow
mark toward crankshaft pulley side and install each cap from that
side to flywheel side in ascending order of numbers “1”, “2”, “3”,
“4” and “5”. Tighten cap bolts to specified torque.
Inspection
Check bearings for pitting, scratches, wear or damage.
If any malcondition is found, replace both upper and lower halves.
Never replace one half without replacing the other half.
Main bearing clearance
Check clearance by using gaging plastic (1) according to the follow-
ing procedure.
1) Remove bearing caps.
2) Clean bearings and main journals.
3) Place a piece of gaging plastic to full width of bearing (parallel
to crankshaft) on journal, avoiding oil hole.
4) Install bearing cap as previously outlined and evenly toque cap
bolts to specified torque.
Bearing cap MUST be torqued to specification in order to assure
proper reading of clearance.
Tightening Torque
(a): 54 N
.m (5.4 kg-m, 39.0 lb-ft)
NOTE:
Do not rotate crankshaft while gaging plastic is installed.

3) Install crankshaft to cylinder block.
4) Install bearing cap to cylinder block, making sure to point arrow
mark (on each cap) to crankshaft pulley side. Fit them sequen-
tially in ascending order, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, starting from pulley side.
After installing bearing cap stiffeners, tighten bearing cap bolts
in such order as shown in figure a little at a time and repeat it till
they are tightened to specified torque.
Tightening Torque
(a): 54 N
.m (5.4 kg-m, 39.0 lb-ft)
NOTE:
After tightening cap bolts, check to be sure that crankshaft
rotates smoothly when turning it by 8.0 N
.m (0.8 kg-m, 5.8
lb-ft) torque or below.
5) Install new gasket and oil seal housing.
Do not reuse gasket removed in disassembly. Apply engine oil
to oil seal lip before installation. Tighten housing bolts to specifi-
cation.
Tightening Torque
(a): 11 N
.m (1.1 kg-m, 8.0 lb-ft)
NOTE:
As there are 2 types of housing bolts, refer to figure for their
correct use.
After installing oil seal housing, gasket edges might bulge out;
if so, cut them off to make them flush with cylinder block and oil
seal housing.
6) Install oil pump.
Refer to item “Oil pump” for installation of oil pump.
7) Install flywheel (M / T model) or drive plate (A / T model).
Using special tool, lock flywheel or drive plate, and torque its
bolts to specification.
