MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Calculation

Install main bearings to cylinder block and main bearing caps,
and tighten main bearing cap bolts with main bearing beam to
the specified torque. Refer to EM-244, "
ASSEMBLY" for the
tightening procedure.

Measure the inner diameter of main bearing with bore gauge.
(Bearing clearance) = (Main bearing inner diameter) – (Crankshaft main journal diameter)

If clearance exceeds the limit, select proper main bearing according to main bearing inner diameter and
crankshaft main journal diameter to obtain specified bearing oil clearance. Refer to EM-252, "
HOW TO
SELECT MAIN BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage

Remove oil and dust on crankshaft main journal and the surfaces of each bearing completely.

Cut plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil
holes.

Install main bearings to cylinder block and main bearing caps, and tighten main bearing bolts with main
bearing beam to the specified torque. Refer to EM-244, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft.

Remove main bearing caps and bearings, and using scale on
plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is
same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”.

CRUSH HEIGHT OF MAIN BEARING

When main bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the
specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of bear-
ing must protrude. Refer to EM-244, "
ASSEMBLY" for the
tightening procedure.

If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.
CRUSH HEIGHT OF CONNECTING ROD BEARING

When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tight-
ened to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings
installed, the tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-244,
"ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.

If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.
DRIVE PLATE

Check drive plate and signal plate for deformation or cracks.
CAUTION:

Do not disassemble drive plate.

Do not place drive plate with signal plate facing down.

When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or
scratch it.

Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from
becoming magnetized.

If anything is found, replace drive plate.Standard : There must be crush height.
