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"

Oil Pump (Overhaul)
Removal
1. Remove oil pump according to the corresponding
operation.
2. Remove oil cover and pressure control valve.

Inspect
Clearance between gear pair and housing upper edge - see
“Technical Data”.
Check housing, cover and pressure control valve.

Installation
1. Install pump cover with Sealing Compound 15 03 166 (90
094 714).
2. Install oil pump safety valve according to the
corresponding operation.

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.

6A-64 ENGINE MECHANICAL (C24SE)
Important!
Do not loosen or open the radiator cap when coolant is hot.
Doing so may cause hot water or steam to splash out, resulting
in burn. When opening the radiator cap, be sure to confirm the
coolant is cold. Cover a thick cloth over the cap and loosen it
slowly to reduce pressure, then open the cap.
6. Close the radiator cap firmly and run the engine at
approx. 2000 rpm. In addition, set the heater temperature
adjuster to the max position to circulate coolant in the
heater conduit system.
7. Confirm that the temperature gauge reads half or more
of full scale and that the thermostat is activated.
Then continue idling 5 minutes more and switch off the
engine, and allow it to cool.
8. After the engine cools down, check the coolant level and
refill it if necessary. When the level is lowered extremely,
check the coolant conduit system and reservoir hose for
leak.
9. Pour coolant into the reservoir to MAX level.







Refill Coolant
Important!
After closing the cooling system, let engine run warm until
thermostat opens (coolant approx. 92C/197.6F)

Inspection
Coolant level
Allow engine to cool. If necessary, refill coolant.

Check that cooling system self-bleeds during engine warming-
up phase.


Ignition Timing, Check
No Adjustment

Inspection
Ensure that accelerator pedal is fully in idle position and
accelerator level at engine is in closed position.

Pull outer sleeve of accelerator cable towards pedal and check
that clip on sleeve is in slot nearest to grommet.

Reposition clip if necessary, and check that full throttle and idle
positions are obtained at engine lever.
