Inspection
Out-of-round (run-out)-middle bearing shell removed when
mounting on front and rear bearing.
Permissible out-of-round - see "Technical Data"
Bearing Free Play Measurement
Two methods for measuring bearing free play are described -
1. Plastigage method and 2. micrometer and gauge method.
The two procedures are suitable for measuring both con-rod
and main bearing free play.
For both methods ensure con-rod and main bearing caps are
identified (1) prior to removal as they are machine matched.
1.Plastigage Method
Removal
1. Remove bearing cap and shell.
2. Lightly coat journals and bearings with engine oil to
prevent Plastigage from tearing when cap is removed.
Installation
1. Lay a length of Plastigage across width of crank pin and
fit bearing cap and shell using old bolts at this stage.
Important!
Do not allow crankshaft to rotate.
Torque - Angle Method
Main bearing cap bolt - 60 N
m (6.1 kgf
m) +40
+ to 50
.
Con-rod bearing cap bolts - 35 N
m (3.6 kgf
m) +45
.
Removal
1. Remove bearing cap and shell.
Measure
Width of Plastigage -use scale supplied with Plastigage.
If con-rod bearing clearance exceeds 0.031mm/0.001in or
main journal bearing clearance exceeds 0.04mm/0.02in. -
check crankshaft journal diameters - see corresponding
operation.
Replace bearing if crankshaft is within specification - see
"Technical Data"

2.Micrometer and gauge method.
Crankshaft removed.
Installation
1. Install caps and bearing shells to con-rods and cylinder
block.
Measure
Con-rod and main bearing diameters at three points I, II, III
(arrowed).
Divide the sum of the three measurements by three to obtain a
mean diameter.
The top illustration shows con-rod measuring points.
The second illustration shows main bearing measuring points.
Measure
Crankshaft main and con-rod bearing journals at points I and
II. Divide the sum of both measurements to obtain a mean
diameter.
Crankshaft must be replaced if mean diameter of main or con-
rod journals is below specified limit - see "Technical Data".
If crankshaft is serviceable subtract crankshaft mean journal
diameters from corresponding shell bearing mean diameters to
determine bearing clearance.
Permissible main bearing clearance - 0.015 to 0.04mm/0.0006
to 0.002in.
Permissible con-rod bearing clearance - 0.006 to
0.031mm/0.002 to 0.001in.

6C-4 ENGINE FUEL (C24SE)
Fuel Metering
Engine Control Module (ECM) is in complete control of this fuel
delivery system during normal driving conditions.
The intake manifold function, like that of a diesel, is used only
to let air into the engine. The fuel is injected by separate
injectors that are mounted over the intake manifold.
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the
changes in the intake manifold pressure which result from
engine load and speed changes, which the MAP senso
r
converts to a voltage output.
This sensor generates the voltage to change corresponding to
the flow of the air drawn into the engine.
The changing voltage is transformed into an electric signal and
provided to the ECM.
With receipt of the signals sent from the MAP sensor, Intake
Air Temperature sensor and others, the ECM determines an
appropriate fuel injection pulse width feeding such information
to the fuel injector valves to effect an appropriate air/fuel ratio.
The Multiport Fuel Injection system utilizes an injection system
where the injectors turn on at every crankshaft revolution. The
ECM controls the injector on time so that the correct amount o
f
fuel is metered depending on driving conditions.
Two interchangeable "O" rings are used on the injector tha
t
must be replaced when the injectors are removed.
The fuel rail is attached to the top of the intake manifold and
supplies fuel to all the injectors.
Fuel is recirculated through the rail continually while the engine
is running. This removes air and vapors from the fuel as well
as keeping the fuel cool during hot weather operation.
The fuel pressure control valve that is mounted on the fuel rail
maintains a pressure differential across the injectors under all
operating conditions. It is accomplished by controlling the
amount of fuel that is recirculated back to the fuel tank based
on engine demand.
See Section "Driveability and Emission" for more information
and diagnosis.
