lIf corrected, measure the bearing oil clearance of the corrected journal and/or pin. Then select the main
bearing or connecting rod bearing. Refer toEM-132, "
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE"and/orEM-
131, "CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE".
CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT
lPlace V-block onto surface plate to support journals at both ends
of crankshaft.
lPosition dial gauge vertically onto No. 3 journal.
lRotate crankshaft to read needle movement on dial gauge.
(Total indicator reading)
lIf it exceeds the limit, replace crankshaft.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Measurement
lInstall connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and cap, and
tighten connecting nuts to the specified torque. Refer toEM-114,
"ASSEMBLY". Use inside micrometer to measure connecting
rod bearing inner diameter.
(Bearing clearance) = (Connecting rod bearing inner diameter)-
(Crankshaft pin outer diameter)
lIf clearance exceeds the standard, select proper connecting rod
bearing according to connecting rod big end diameter and
crankshaft pin outer diameter to obtain specified bearing oil
clearance. Refer toEM-122, "
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING
ROD BEARING".
Method of Using Plastigage
lRemove contamination such as engine oil, dust completely from
crankshaft pins and each bearing surface.
lCut plastigage slightly shorter than bearing width, place it in
crankshaft direction, avoiding oil holes.
lInstall connecting rod bearings to caps, and tighten connecting
rod nuts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft.
lRemove connecting rod caps and bearings, and measure plasti-
gage width using scale on plastigage bag.
NOTE:
If out of specification, take same action mentioned in “Method by Measurement”.Standard : 0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
Limit : 0.10 mm (0.0039 in)

CYLINDER BLOCK
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Measurement
lInstall main bearings to cylinder block and bearing cap, and
tighten the bolts to the specified torque. Refer toEM-114,
"ASSEMBLY". Then, measure the inner diameter of main bear-
ings.
(Bearing clearance) = (Bearing inner diameter)-(Crankshaft
journal outer diameter)
lIf out of the standard, check main bearing housing inner diame-
ter and crankshaft journal outer diameter, and select appropriate
main bearing to adjust clearance to specifications. Refer toEM-
123, "HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING".
Method of Using Plastigage
lRemove contamination such as engine oil and dust completely
from crankshaft journals and each bearing surface.
lCut plastigage slightly shorter than bearing width. Place it in
crankshaft turning direction, avoiding oil holes.
lInstall main bearings and bearing cap and tighten to the speci-
fied torque. Refer toEM-114, "
ASSEMBLY"for the tightening
procedure.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft.
lRemove main bearings and bearing caps, and measure plasti-
gage width using scale on plastigage bag.
NOTE:
If out of specification, take same action mentioned in “Method by Measurement”.
CRUSH HEIGHT OF MAIN BEARING
lWhen bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the speci-
fied torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of bearing
must protrude. Refer toEM-114, "
ASSEMBLY".
lIf out of the standard, replace main bearings.
CRUSH HEIGHT OF CONNECTING ROD BEARING
lWhen connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tight-
ened to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings
installed, the tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer toEM-114,
"ASSEMBLY".
lIf out of the standard, replace connecting rod bearings.Standard : 0.047 - 0.077 mm (0.0019 - 0.0030 in)

CAUTION:
lBe sure to use genuine exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed for heat
resistance, corrosion resistance and shape.
lPerform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled down because the system will be hot
just after engine stops.
lBe careful not to cut your hand on the insulator edge.
REMOVAL
Separate each connection as necessary.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble main muffler at the portion “A” shown in the figure.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
lAlways replace exhaust gaskets and seal bearings with new ones when reassembling.
lIf insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on insulator,
remove them.
lWhen installing insulator avoid large gaps or interference between insulator and each exhaust
pipe.
lRemove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid
gas leakage.
lTemporarily tighten mounting nuts on the exhaust manifold side and mounting bolts on the vehi-
cle side. Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.
lWhen installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/
left directions.
lInstall tail tube to main muffler as follows.
Ta i l t u b e
Install tail tube (3) to main muffler (1) as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
The emboss (B) of tail tube (3) shall be properly fitted to the slit
(A) of main muffler (1).
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
lWith the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.
lCheck to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.
