When using a new crankshaft and connecting rods:
+Identify the pin diameter grade (No. 0, 1, or 2) on front surface
of crankshaft and select the connecting rod bearings of the
same grade.
+There is no grading for the inner diameter of the big end of the
connecting rod.
When re-using the removed crankshaft and connecting rods:
+Measure the inner diameter of the big end of the connecting
rod and make sure it is within the specified range.
+Measure the outer diameter of the crankshaft pin.
+Determine the crankshaft pin grade by comparing the mea-
surement with the values under the column ªCrankshaft pin
ODº of the table below. Choose the bearings of the same
grade.

7. If clearance cannot be adjusted within the standard of any
bearing, grind crankshaft journal and use undersized bearing.
+When an undersized bearing is used, measure the inner diam-
eter of the bearing while the bearing is installed. Grind the pins
so that the specified oil clearance is obtained.

Method B (Using plastigage)
CAUTION:
+Do not turn crankshaft or connecting rod while plastigage
is being inserted.
+When bearing clearance exceeds the specified limit,
ensure that the proper bearing has been installed. If incor-
rect bearing clearance exists, use a thicker or undersized
main bearing to ensure specified clearance.

MAIN BEARING CRUSH HEIGHTNJEM0073S16+When the bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the
specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of
bearing must protrude.
Standard: There must be crush height.
+If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.

4. Install main bearings and thrust bearings.
a. Remove debris, dust, and oil from the locations on the cylin-
der block and main bearing caps where bearings are installed.
b. Install thrust bearing on each side of cylinder block No. 3
housing.
+Install thrust bearings with oil groove facing in the direction of
the crankshaft arm (outside).
JEM213G
c. Be sure to install main bearings in the correct direction.
+Make sure those with oil holes or oil grooves are mounted on
the cylinder block side, and those without oil holes or oil
grooves are on the main cap side.
+Before installing, apply engine oil on the front (inner) surfaces
of bearings. Do not apply oil to the back surfaces, but thor-
oughly clean them.
+Align stopper notches on bearings and install.
+Check the oil holes on cylinder block and those on bearings
are aligned.
JEM225G
5. Install crankshaft to cylinder block.
+Make sure crankshaft rotates smoothly by hand.
6. Install main bearing caps.
+Identify main bearing caps by the punched mark. Install
correctly, matching the journal No. on the bearing cap and the
journal, with the front mark facing forward.
+Main bearing caps are commonly processed with the cylinder
block. Therefore, caps and cylinder block should be replaced
as a set.

7. Check the main bearing cap bolts for deformation.
Refer to EM-152, ªMAIN BEARING CAP BOLT DEFORMA-
TIONº.
8. Tighten the main bearing cap bolts according to the following
procedure:
a. Apply engine oil to the threaded part and seat surface of each
bolt.
b. Tighten to 25 to 30 N´m (2.5 to 3.1 kg-m, 18 to 22 ft-lb) in the
numerical order shown in the figure.
c. Put alignment marks (with paint) on each bolt and the main
bearing cap, all in the same direction. (when using a protrac-
tor)
d. Then, tighten 90É to 95É [target: 90É].
+Always use either an angle wrench (SST) or protractor
during angular tightening. Avoid tightening based on
visual checks alone.
+After tightening bolts to specified torque, make sure that crank-
shaft rotates smoothly.
+Check crankshaft end play. Refer to EM-143, ªCRANKSHAFT
END PLAYº.
9. Check the outer diameter of connecting rod bolts. Refer to
EM-153, ªCONNECTING ROD BOLT DEFORMATIONº.
10. Install piston to connecting rod.
