Crank Pin and Connecting Rod Bearings

Inspect crank pin for uneven wear or damage. Measure crank pin
for out-of-round or taper with a micrometer. If crank pin is dam-
aged, or out-of-round or taper is out of limit, replace crankshaft or
regrind crank pin to undersize and use undersize bearing.

Rod bearing:
Inspect bearing shells for signs of fusion, pitting, burn or flaking
and observe contact pattern. Bearing shells found in defective
condition must be replaced.
Two kinds of rod bearing are available; standard size bearing and
0.25 mm undersize bearing. To distinguish them, 0. 25 mm under-
size bearing has the stamped number (US025) on its backside as
indicated in figure, but standard size one has no number.

Rod bearing clearance:
1) Before checking bearing clearance, clean bearing and crank
pin.
2) Install bearing in connecting rod and bearing cap.
3) Place a piece of gaging plastic (1) to full width of crankpin as
contacted by bearing (parallel to crankshaft), avoiding oil hole.
4) Install rod bearing cap (1) to connecting rod.
When installing cap, be sure to point arrow mark (2) on cap to
crankshaft pulley side (3), as shown in figure. After applying
engine oil to rod bolts, tighten cap nuts to specified torque. DO
NOT turn crankshaft with gaging plastic installed.

ance).
If clearance exceeds its limit, use a new standard size bearing
and remeasure clearance.

ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Two sizes of piston are available as standard size spare part
so as to ensure proper piston-to-cylinder clearance. When
installing a standard size piston, make sure to match piston
with cylinder as follows.
a) Each piston has stamped number 1 or 2 as shown. It represents
outer diameter of piston.
b) There are also stamped numbers of 1 and 2 on the cylinder block
as shown. The first number represents inner diameter of No.1
cylinder, the second number of No.2 cylinder, the third number
of No.3 cylinder and the fourth number of No.4 cylinder.

Also, a letter A, B or C is stamped on piston head but ordinarily
it is not necessary to discriminate each piston by this letter.
1) Install piston pin to piston (1) and connecting rod (3):
After applying engine oil to piston pin and piston pin holes in pis-
ton and connecting rod, fit connecting rod to piston as shown in
figure and insert piston pin to piston and connecting rod, and
install piston pin circlips.
NOTE:
Circlip should be installed with its cut part facing either up
or down as shown in figure.
2) Install piston rings to piston:

As indicated in figure, 1st and 2nd rings have “RN” or “R” mark
respectively. When installing these piston rings to piston, di-
rect marked side of each ring toward top of piston.

1st ring (1) difffers from 2nd ring (2) in thickness, shape and
color of surface contacting cylinder wall.
Distinguish 1st ring from 2nd ring by referring to figure.

When installing oil ring (3), install spacer first and then two
rails.
3) After installing three rings (1st, 2nd and oil rings), distribute their
end gaps as shown in figure.

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.

6A1-72 ENGINE MECHANICAL (G13B, 1-CAM 16-VALVES ENGINE)
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.

Selection of main bearings
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.

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.

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.
