5. Apply a bead of sealant (TB-1207C or equivalent) in the
grooves of both bearing shells.

Important!
After installation of bearing cover, press in sealing compound
again from above, until compound emerges at the joints.


Torque - Angle Method
Bearing cover to cylinder block - 50 N
m (5.1 kgf
m) +40 to
50
Con-rod bearing cover to con-rod - 35 N

m (3.5 kgf

m) +45
to
60
.
Use new bolts.

6. Install oil pump, oil pan, bearing bridge rear crankshaft
sealing, flywheel/drive plate, and aggregates according to
the corresponding operations.









Inspection
Bearing play - bearing cover removed

Measure
With "Plastigage" (ductile plastic threads)
Cut threads to length of bearing width and lay axiaity between
crankshaft journal and bearing shell (arrowed).
Install bearing cover with correct torque.

Important!
Grease crankshaft journal and lubricate bearing shell slightly
so that the thread does not tear when the bearing cover is
moved.


Crankshaft
Inspection
End play when bearing shells are installed.
Front end contact surfaces of flywheel/flexible plate.
Permissible end play - see "Technical Data "

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"

6A-58 ENGINE MECHANICAL (C24SE)









Clean
Plastigage from journals.

Lightly coat journals and bearings with engine oil.

Installation
Install bearing cap and shell using new bolts.

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 (3.9 kgf

m) +45
.








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.

OPERATIONS ON COOLING SYSTEM
Caution!
Before working with the cooling system, be sure to confirm that
the temperature of the engine is cooled down.
Failure to observe this may cause burn.








Cooling System, Check for Leaks
Installation
1. Install commercially available coolant checking
instrument onto compensation tank (Refer to section 6B;
Engine cooling).
2. Check coolant level.

Inspection
Use 5-8840-0277-0 tester & 5-8840-2603-0 adaptor.




Cooling System, Fill Up and Bleed
Important!
Radiator and heater core are made from alminium.
To avoid corrosion, use only anti-freeze with corrosion
protection.


Replace Coolant
1. Confirm the engine is cold enough.
2. Open the radiator cap, pour coolant to the filler neck level
and close the cap.
3. Pour coolant into the reservoir until MAX line is reached.
4. Start the engine, run 2 
3 minutes at idling speed and
switch off the engine.
5. Refill coolant if the coolant level is lowered.
