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"

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.
