CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT
●Place a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals on
the both end of the crankshaft.
●Place a dial gauge straight up on the No. 3 journal.
●While rotating the crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer
on the dial gauge. (Total indicator reading)
CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method of Measurement
●Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod and the
cap, and tighten the connecting rod bolts to the specified torque.
Using a inside micrometer measure the inner diameter of con-
necting rod bearing.
(Oil clearance) = (Inner diameter of connecting rod bearing) –
(Outer diameter of crankshaft pin)
●If out of specifications, check connecting rod big end inner diam-
eter and crankshaft pin outer diameter, and select appropriate
connecting rod bearing to adjust clearance to specifications.
Refer to EM-83, "
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage
●Remove engine oil and dust on the crankshaft pin and the sur-
faces of each bearing completely.
●Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and
place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.
●Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod cap,
and tighten the connecting rod bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Never rotate the crankshaft.
●Remove the connecting rod cap and bearings, and using the
scale on the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is same as that described in “Method of Mea-
surement”.
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method of Measurement
●Install the main bearings to the cylinder block and bearing cap. Measure the main bearing inner diameter
with the bearing cap bolt tightened to the specified torque.
(Oil clearance) = (Inner diameter of main bearing) – (Outer diameter of crankshaft journal)
●If out of specification, check main bearing housing inner diameter and crankshaft journal outer diameter,
and select appropriate main bearing to adjust clearance to specifications. Refer to EM-85, "

PRECAUTIONS
[YD22DDTi]PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Drain Engine CoolantEBS00LQZ
Drain engine coolant when engine is cooled.
Precautions for Disconnecting Fuel PipingEBS00LR0
●Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.
●Release fuel pressure before disassembly.
●After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precautions for Removal and DisassemblyEBS00LR1
●When instructed to use special service tools, use the specified tools. Always be careful to work safely,
avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.
●Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.
●Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
●Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and re-assembly.
●When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified.
Precautions for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementEBS00LR2
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precautions for Assembly and InstallationEBS00LR3
●Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.
●When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is speci-
fied, do exactly as specified.
●Replace with new liquid gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
●Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for
any restriction and blockage.
●Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assembly, engine oil sliding surfaces well.
●Release air within route when refilling after draining coolant.
●After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check engine coolant, fuel, engine oil, and
exhaust systems for leakage.
Parts Requiring Angular TighteningEBS00LR4
●Use an angle wrench for the final tightening of the following engine parts:
–Cylinder head bolts
–Main bearing cap bolts
–Connecting rod cap nuts
–Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angular
tightening)
●Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
●The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
●Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.

Checking Drive BeltsEBS00LRA
●Before inspecting the engine, make sure the engine has cooled
down; wait approximately 30 minutes after the engine has been
stopped.
●Visually inspect all belts for wear, damage or cracks on contact-
ing surfaces and edge areas.
●When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the
marked point ( ).
CAUTION:
●When checking belt deflection immediately after installa-
tion, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turn-
ing the crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the
specified value to avoid variation in deflection between
pulleys.
●Tighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure deflection without looseness.
Belt Deflection:
*: When engine is cold.
Tension AdjustmentEBS00LRB
●Adjust belts with the parts shown below.
CAUTION:
●When a new belt is installed as a replacement, adjust it to the value specified under “New” value
because of insufficient adaptability with pulley grooves.
●If the belt deflection of the current belt is out of the “Limit for re-adjusting”, adjust to the
“Adjusted” value.
●When checking belt deflection immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value.
Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust it to the specified value to avoid vari-
ation in deflection between pulleys.
●Make sure the belts are fully fitted into the pulley grooves during installation.
●Handle with care to avoid smearing the belts with engine oil or cooling water etc.
●Do not twist or bend the belts with strong force.
