Maximum thrust clearance: 0.362 mm (0.0143 in.)
(b) If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace
the connecting rod assembly(s). If necessary, replace the
crankshaft.
2. INSPECT CONNECTING ROD OIL CLEARANCE
HINT:

quence as step (h).
(l) Check that each painted mark is now at a 90 angle to the
front.
NOTICE:
Do not turn the crankshaft.
(m) Remove the bearing caps.
(n) Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.

tion of the cylinder block with the oil grooves facing out-
ward.

(c) Examine the front marks and install the bearing caps to
the cylinder block.
(d) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads of the bear-
ing cap bolts.
(e) Using several steps, tighten the bolts with the specified
torque in the sequence shown in the illustration.
Torque: 20 Nm (204 kgfcm, 15 ftlbf)
(f) Retighten the bolts in the same way as above with the
specified torque.
Torque: 40 Nm (408 kgfcm, 29 ftlbf)

(h) Retighten the bearing cap bolts by 90 in the same se-
quence as step (e).
(i) Check that each painted mark is now at a 90angle to
the front.
(j) Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
35. INSTALL CONNECTING ROD BEARING
(a) Align the bearing claw with the groove of the connecting
rod or connecting cap.
NOTICE:
Clean the back side of the bearing and the bearing surface
of the bearing cap and keep them free of oils.
36. INSTALL PISTON SUB±ASSY W/CONNECTING ROD
NOTICE:
The connecting rod cap bolts are tightened in 2 progres-
sive steps.

(a) Apply engine oil on the cylinder walls, the pistons, and the
surfaces of connecting rod bearings.
(b) Check the position of the piston ring ends.
(c) Using a piston ring compressor, push the correctly num-
bered piston and connecting rod assemblies into each
cylinder with the front mark of the piston facing forward.
NOTICE:
Match the numbered connecting rod cap with the connect-
ing rod.
(d) Check that the protrusion of the connecting rod cap is fac-
ing the correct direction.
(e) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads of the con-
necting rod cap bolts.
(f) Using a 12 mm socket wrench, tighten the bolts in several

8. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD FOR CRACKS
(a) Using a dye penetrate, check the intake ports, exhaust
ports and cylinder surface for cracks.
9. INSPECT VALVE SEATS
(a) Apply a light coat of prussian blue (or white lead) to the
valve face.
(b) Lightly press the valve against the seat.
(c) Check the valve face and seat according to the following
procedure.
(1) If blue appears 360 around the face, the valve is
concentric. If not, replace the valve.
(2) If blue appears 360 around the valve seat, the
guide and face are concentric. If not, resurface the
seat.
(3) Check that the seat contact is in the middle of the
valve face with the width between 1.0 to 1.4 mm
(0.039 to 0.055 in.).
10. REPAIR VALVE SEATS
NOTICE:
Releasing the seat±cutter pressure gradually helps to
make smoother valve seat faces.
(a) Using a 45 cutter, cut valve face of the cylinder head a
little wider than the specified valve seating width.
(b) Confirm that the valve fits the valve seat center portion.
If not, re±cut the valve face with the 45 cutter.
(c) Adjust valve face with a 30 or 60 cutter to accurately fit
the valve seat center portion.
(1) If the seating is too high on the valve face, use 30
and 45 cutters to correct the seat.
