2. CHECK THRUST CLEARANCES OF NO.1 AND NO.2
BALANCE SHAFT OF ENGINE BALANCER
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance
while moving the balance shaft back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance:
0.065 ± 0.110 mm (0.0026 ± 0.0043 in.)
Maximum clearance:
0.11 mm (0.0043 in.)
If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
balance shaft housings and bearings. If necessary,
replace the balance shafts.
3. CHECK BACKLASH OF CRANKSHAFT GEAR AND
NO.1 BALANCE SHAFT GEAR
NOTICE:
wBacklash between the crankshaft gear and No.1
balance shaft gear varies with the rotation of the
balance shaft and the deviation of the crankshaft
gear.
wAccordingly, it is necessary to measure the backlash
at the 4 points shown in the illustration on the left.
When this inspection is performed on±vehicle, the
specifications are increased by approx. 0.025 mm
(See specifications below)
CYLINDER BLOCK DISASSEMBLY
(See Components for Cylinder Block Disassembly
and Assembly)
1. REMOVE REAR OIL SEAL RETAINER
Remove the 6 bolts, retainer and gasket.
(a) Rotate the crankshaft 2 or 3 times to settle the crank±
shaft gear and No.1 balance shaft gear.
(b) When No.1 piston is at TDC, check that the punch
marks shown in the illustration of the balance shafts
are aligned with the grooves of the No.2 housing.

5. CHECK CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance
while moving the connecting rod back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance:
0.160 ± 0.312 mm (0.0063 ± 0.0123 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance:
0.36 mm (0.0138 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, re±
place the connecting rod assembly. If necessary, re±
place the crankshaft.
6. REMOVE CONNECTING ROD CAPS AND CHECK
OIL CLEARANCE
(a) Check the matchmarks on the connecting rod and cap
to ensure correct reassembly.
(c) Using a plastic±faced hammer, lightly tap the con±
necting rod bolts and lift off the connecting rod cap.
HINT: Keep the lower bearing inserted with the con±
necting rod cap.4. REMOVE ENGINE BALANCER
(a) Uniformly loosen and remove the 6 bolts in several
passes, in the sequence shown.
(b) Remove the engine balancer and spacers.
(b) Using SST, remove the connecting rod cap nuts.

(j) Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.
Standard oil clearance:
STD
0.024 ± 0.055 mm (0.0009 ± 0.0022 in.)
U/S 0.25
0.023 ± 0.069 mm (0.0009 ± 0.0027 in.)
Maximum oil clearance:
0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace
the bearings. If necessary, grind or replace the crank±
shaft.
HINT: If using a standard bearing, replace it with one
having the same number marked on the connecting
rod cap. There are 3 sizes of standard bearings,
marked *11', ª2º and ª3º accordingly.
Standard sized bearing center wall thickness:
Mark ª1º
1.484 ± 1.488 mm (0.0584 ± 0.0586 in.)
Mark ª2º
1.488 ± 1.492 mm (0.0586 ± 0.0587 in.)
Mark ª3º
1.492 ± 1.498 mm (0.0587 ± 0.0589 in.)
(k) Completely remove the Plastigage.
(b) Cover the connecting rod bolts with a short piece of
hose to protect the crankshaft from damage.
(c) Push the piston, connecting rod assembly and upper
bearing through the top of the cylinder block. 7. REMOVE PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD
