Upper half of bearing (1) has an oil groove (2) as shown in
figure.
Install this half with oil groove to cylinder block.
Lower half of bearing does not have an oil groove.
Visual inspection
Check bearings for pitting, scratches, wear or damage.
If any malcondition is found, replace both upper and lower halves.
Do not replace either half without replacing the other half.
Main bearing clearance
Check clearance by using gauging plastic according to the follow-
ing procedure.
1) Remove bearing caps.
2) Clean bearings and main journals.
3) Place a piece of gauging plastic (1) the full width of bearing
(parallel to crankshaft) on journal, avoiding oil hole.
4) Tighten bearing cap No.1 bolts (1) – (10) and No.2 bolts (11)
– (20) gradually as follows.
a) Tighten bolts (1) – (10) to 30 N·m (3.0 kg-m, 22.0 lb-ft)
according to numerical order in figure.
b) In the same manner as in Step a), tighten them to 50 N·m
(5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft).
c) In the same manner as in step a), retighten them to 60°.
d) Tighten bolts (11) – (20) to 22 N·m (2.2 kg-m, 16.0 lb-ft)
according to numerical order in figure.
Tightening torque
Crankshaft bearing No.1 bolts (1) – (10) :
50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft) and extra tightening 60°
Crankshaft bearing No.2 bolts (11) – (20) :
22 N·m (2.2 kg-m, 16.0 lb-ft)
NOTE:
Do not rotate crankshaft while gauging plastic is
installed.

INSTALLATION
1) Install sensor plate (1) to crankshaft (2) and tighten bolts to
specified torque.
Tightening torque
Sensor plate bolts (a) : 11 N·m (1.1 kg-m, 8.0 lb-ft)
2) Install main bearings to cylinder block.
Upper half of bearing (1) has an oil groove (2).
Install it to cylinder block (3), and the other half without oil
groove to bearing cap.
Make sure that two halves are painted in the same color.
3) Install thrust bearings (1) to cylinder block between No.2 and
No.3 cylinders. Face oil groove (2) sides to crank webs.
4) Confirm that dowel pins(3) are installed to intake side of
each journal. NOTE:
All parts to be installed must be perfectly clean.
Be sure to oil crankshaft journals, journal bearings,
thrust bearings, crankpins, connecting rod bearings,
pistons, piston rings and cylinder bores.
Journal bearings, bearings caps, connecting rods, rod
bearings, rod bearing caps, pistons and piston rings
are in combination sets. Do not disturb such combina-
tion and make sure that each part goes back to where
it came from, when installing.
NOTE:
When installing sensor plate, align spring pin (3) on
crankshaft and hole of sensor plate.

5) Install crankshaft to cylinder block.
6) Install bearing cap to cylinder block, making sure to point
arrow mark (on each cap) to crankshaft pulley side. Fit them
sequentially in ascending order, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, starting
from pulley side.
After applying engine oil to bearing cap No.1 bolts ((1) –
(10)) and bearing cap No.2 bolts ((11) – (20)), tighten them
gradually as follows.
a) Tighten bolts (1) – (10) to 30 N·m (3.0 kg-m, 22.0 lb-ft)

9) Run engine, with radiator cap removed, until radiator upper
hose is hot.
10) With engine idling, add coolant to radiator until level reaches
the bottom of filler neck. Install radiator cap, making sure
that the ear of cap lines up with reservoir hose.
Water Pump Belt Tension
1) Inspect belt for cracks, cuts, deformation, wear and cleanli-
ness. If it is necessary to replace belt, refer to “Water Pump
Belt and Cooling Fan” in this section.
2) Check belt for tension. Belt is in proper tension when it
deflects 4.5 to 5.5 mm (0.18 – 0.22 in.) under thumb pres-
sure (about 10 kg or 22 lb.).
Water pump belt tension
“a” : 4.5 – 5.5 mm (0.18 – 0.22 in.) as deflection / 10 kg (22
lbs)
3) If belt is too tight or too loose, adjust it to proper tension by
displacing generator position.
4) Tighten generator adjusting bolt and pivot bolts as specified
torque.
Tightening torque
Generator adjusting bolt (a) : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
Generator pivot bolts (b) : 50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.0 lb-ft)
5) Connect negative cable at battery terminal.WARNING:
Disconnect negative cable at battery before checking and
adjusting belt tension.
NOTE:
When replacing belt with a new one, adjust belt tension
to 3 – 4 mm (0.12 – 0.16 in.).

INSPECTION
1) Make sure that air bleed valve (1) of thermostat is clear.
Should this valve be clogged, engine would tend to overheat.
2) Check valve seat for some foreign matters being stuck which
prevent valve from seating tight.
3) Check thermostatic movement of wax pellet as follows:
a) Immerse thermostat (1) in water, and heat water gradually.
b) Check that valve starts to open at specification temp.
c) If valve starts to open at a temperature substantially below
or above, thermostat unit should be replaced with a new
one.
Such a unit, if re-used, will bring about overcooling or over-
heating tendency.

INSTALLATION
1) When positioning the thermostat (2) on the thermostat case
(1), be sure to align its air breather valve (3) with mark (4).
2) Install thermostat cap (5) to thermostat case with align air
bleed valve and mark.
Then, tighten mounting bolts to specified torque.
