HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING
When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used
1. Apply the big end inside diameter grade stamped on the con-
necting rod side face to the row in the “Connecting Rod Bearing
Selection Table”.
2. Apply the pin diameter grade stamped on the crankshaft front
side to the column in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection
Table”.
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of selected row and column
in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table”.
4. Apply the symbol obtained to the "Connecting Rod Bearing
Grade Table" to select.
When Crankshaft and Connecting Rod are Reused
1. Measure dimensions of the big end inside diameter of the connecting rod and diameter of the crankshaft
pin individually.
2. Apply the measured dimension to the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table”.
3. The following steps are the same as in “When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used”. Refer to
EM-84

Undersize Bearings Usage Guide
When the specified oil clearance is not obtained with standard size connecting rod bearings, use under-
size (US) bearings.
When using undersize bearing, measure the bearing inside diameter with the bearing installed, and grind
the crankshaft pin so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard.

Unit: mm (in)
CAUTION:
In grinding the crankshaft pin to use undersize bearings, keep
the fillet R (All crankshaft pins).
HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING
When New Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Used
1. Apply the main bearing housing grade on the bottom face of the
cylinder block to the row in "Main Bearings Selection Table".
2. Apply the journal diameter grade on the crankshaft front to the
column in "Main Bearings Selection Table".
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of the selected row and column in the "Main Bearings Selection Table".
CAUTION:
Initial clearance for No. 1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal is different. Use two different selection
lists for each part.
No. 1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal have the same signs but different measures. Do not con-
fuse them.
4. Apply the symbol to the "Main Bearings Grade Table" to select.
NOTE:
Grade list applies to all journals.
Service parts are available as a set of both upper and lower.

the clearance between the thrust bearings and crankshaft arm
using suitable tool.
If measured value exceeds the repair limit, replace the thrust
bearings, and measure again. If it still exceeds the repair limit,
replace crankshaft also.
CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE
Measure side clearance between the connecting rod and crank-
shaft arm using suitable tool.
If measured value exceeds the repair limit, replace the connect-
ing rod bearings, and measure again. If it still exceeds the repair
limit, replace the crankshaft also.

Piston and Piston Pin Clearance
(Piston pin clearance) = (Piston pin hole diameter) – (Piston pin
diameter)
If clearance exceeds specification, replace either or both the pis-
ton/piston pin assembly and the connecting rod assembly with
reference to the specification of each part.
Refer to the piston selection table to replace piston/piston pin
assembly. Refer to EM-83, "
HOW TO SELECT PISTON" .
Refer to the connecting rod bearing selection table to replace
connecting rod. Refer to EM-84, "
HOW TO SELECT CON-
NECTING ROD BEARING" .
NOTE:
The connecting rod small end grade and piston pin hole (piston
pin) grade are provided only for the parts installed at the plant.
For service parts, no grades can be selected (only 0 grade is
available).
Refer to EM-92, "Connecting Rod Bushing Oil Clearance (Small
End)" for the values for each grade at the plant.
PISTON RING SIDE CLEARANCE
Measure side clearance of the piston ring and piston ring groove
using suitable tool.
If out of specification, replace piston and/or piston ring assembly.
PISTON RING END GAP
Check if the diameter of the cylinder bore is within specification.
Refer to EM-94, "
Piston to Cylinder Bore Clearance" .
Insert the piston ring into the middle of the cylinder using the pis-
ton, and measure gap.Standard : 0.002 - 0.006 mm (0.0001 - 0.0002 in)

Install the connecting rod cap without the connecting rod bearing
installed. After tightening the connecting rod bolt to the specified
torque, measure the connecting rod large end inside diameter.
