5) Remove cap and using scale (2) on gaging plastic (1) envelope,
measure gaging plastic width at its widest point. If clearance ex-
ceeds 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.

STANDARD BEARING:
If bearing is in malcondition, or bearing clearance is out of specifica-
tion, select a new standard bearing according to the following pro-
cedure and install it.
1) First check journal diameter by using the following procedure.
As shown in figure, crank webs (1) of No.2 and No.3 cylinders
have five stamped numerals.
Three kinds of numerals (“1”, “2” and “3”) represent the following
journal diameters.
Numeral stamped
Journal diameter
144.994 – 45.000 mm
(1.7714 – 1.7716 in.)
244.988 – 44.994 mm
(1.7712 – 1.7714 in.)
344.982 – 44.988 mm
(1.7709 – 1.7712 in.)
The first, second, third, fourth and fifth (left to right) stamped nu-
merals represent journal diameters at bearing caps “1”, “2”, “3”,
“4” and “5” respectively.
For example, in figure, the first (leftmost) numeral “3” indicates
that journal dia. at bearing cap “1” is within 44.982 – 44.988 mm,
and second one “1” indicate that journal dia. at cap “2” is within
44.994 – 45.000 mm.

2) Next, check bearing cap bore diameter without bearing. On mat-
ing surface of cylinder block, four alphabets are stamped as
shown in figure.
Three kinds of alphabets (“A”, “B” and “C”) represent the follow-
ing cap bore diameters.

A49.000 – 49.006 mm
(1.9291 – 1.9294 in.)
B49.006 – 49.012 mm
(1.9294 – 1.9296 in.)
C49.012 – 49.018 mm
(1.9296 – 1.9298 in.)
The first, second, third, fourth and fifth (left to right) stamped al-
phabets reperesent cap bore diameters of bearing caps “1”, “2”,
“3”, “4” and “5”, respectively.
For example, in figure, the first (leftmost) alphabet “B” indicates
that cap bore dia. of bearing cap “1” is within 49.006 – 49.012
mm, and the fifth (rightmost) alphabet “A” indicates that cap bore
dia. of cap “5” is within 49.000 – 49.006 mm.
3) There are five kinds of standard bearings differing in thickness.
To distinguish them, they are painted in the following colors at
the position as indicated in figure.
Each color indicates the following thickness at the center of
bearing.

4) From numerals stamped on crank webs (1) of No.2 and No.3 cyl-
inders and the alphabets stamped on mating surface of cylinder
block, determine new standard bearing to be installed to journal,
by referring to table given below.
For example, if numeral stamped on crank web is “1” and alpha-
bet stamped on mating surface is “B”, install a new standard
bearing painted in “Black” to its journal.

5) Using gaging plastic (1), check bearing clearance with newly se-
lected standard bearing.
If clearance still exceeds its limit, use next thicker bearing and
recheck clearance.
6) When replacing crankshaft or cylinder block due to any reason,
select new standard bearings to be installed by referring to nu-
merals stamped on new crankshaft or alphabets stamped on
mating surface of new cylinder block.
UNDERSIZE BEARING (0.25 mm):
0.25 mm undersize bearing is available, in five kinds varying in
thickness.
To distinguish them, each bearing is painted in the following col-
ors at such position as indicated in figure.
Each color represents the following thicknesses at the center of
bearing.

If necessary, regrind crankshaft journal and select under-size
bearing to use with it as follows.
1) Regrind journal to the following finished diameter.
Finished diameter: 44.732 – 44.750 mm
(1.7611 – 1.7618 in.)
2) Using micrometer, measure reground journal diameter.
Measurement should be taken in two directions perpendicular
to each other in order to check for out-of-round.
3) Using journal diameter measured above and alphabets
stamped on mating surface of cylinder block, select an under-
size bearing by referring to table given below.
Check bearing clearance with newly selected undersize bear-
ing.

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) so that oil seal
housing (2) end face is flush with oil seal end face.

5) Rebore and hone cylinder to calculated dimension.
NOTE:
Before reboring, install all main bearing caps in place and
tighten to specification to avoid distortion of bearing bores.
6) Measure piston clearance after honing.
INSTALLATION
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, pis-
ton rings and cylinder bores.
Journal bearings, bearing caps, connecting rods, rod bear-
ings, rod bearing caps, pistons and piston rings are in com-
bination sets. Do not disturb such combination and make
sure that each part goes back to where it came from, when
installing.
1) Install main bearings to cylinder block.
One of two halves of main bearing (2), has an oil groove (3).
Install it to cylinder block (1), and the other half without oil groove
to bearing cap.
Make sure that two halves are painted in the same color.
2) Install thrust bearings (1) to cylinder block between No.2 and
No.3 cylinders. Face oil groove (2) sides to crank webs.

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.
