CRANKSHAFT PIN JOURNAL DIAMETER
Measure the outer diameter of crankshaft pin journal with a
micrometer.
If out of the standard, measure the connecting rod bearing oil
clearance. Then use undersize bearing. Refer to EM-146,
"CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" .
CRANKSHAFT OUT-OF-ROUND AND TAPER
Measure the dimensions at four different points as shown in the
figure on each main journal and pin journal with a micrometer.
Out-of-round is indicated by the difference in the dimensions
between “X” and “Y” at “A” and “B”.
Taper is indicated by the difference in the dimensions between
“A” and “B” at “X” and “Y”.
If the measured value exceeds the limit, correct or replace crankshaft.
If corrected, measure the bearing oil clearance of the corrected main journal and/or pin journal. Then
select the main bearing and/or connecting rod bearing. Refer to EM-147, "
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEAR-
ANCE" and/or EM-146, "CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" .
CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT
Place V-block on precise flat table, and support the journals on
the both end of crankshaft.
Place a dial indicator straight up on the No. 3 journal.
While rotating crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer on a
dial indicator. (Total indicator reading)
If it exceeds the limit, replace crankshaft.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Calculation
Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and connect-
ing rod cap, and tighten connecting rod bolts to the specified
torque. Refer to EM-128, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening proce-
dure.
Measure the inner diameter of connecting rod bearing with an
inside micrometer.
(Oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bearing inner diameter) – (Crank-
shaft pin journal diameter)Standard : 51.956 - 51.974 mm (2.0455 - 2.0462 in) dia.

Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45If the calculated value exceeds the limit, select proper connecting rod bearing according to connecting rod
big end diameter and crankshaft pin journal diameter to obtain the specified bearing oil clearance. Refer
to EM-136, "
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage
Remove oil and dust on crankshaft pin journal and the surfaces of each bearing completely.
Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding
oil holes.
Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and connecting rod bearing cap, and tighten connecting
rod bolts to the specified torque. Refer to EM-128, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft.
Remove connecting rod bearing cap and bearings, and using
the scale on the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is
same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”.
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Calculation
Install main bearings to cylinder block and main bearing caps,
and tighten main bearing cap bolts with main bearing beam to
the specified torque. Refer to EM-128, "
ASSEMBLY" for the
tightening procedure.
Measure the inner diameter of main bearing with a bore gauge.
(Oil clearance) = (Main bearing inner diameter) – (Crankshaft main
journal diameter)
If the calculated value exceeds the limit, select proper main bearing according to main bearing inner diam-
eter and crankshaft main journal diameter to obtain the specified bearing oil clearance. Refer to EM-137,
"HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage
Remove engine oil and dust on crankshaft journal and the surfaces of each bearing completely.
Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding
oil holes.
Install main bearing to cylinder block and main bearing cap, and tighten main bearing bolts with main
bearing beam to the specified torque. Refer to EM-128, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft.Standard : 0.034 - 0.059 mm (0.0013 - 0.0023 in)

MAIN BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT
When main bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the
specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of bear-
ing must protrude. Refer to EM-128, "

ening procedure.
If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.

When 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 to EM-128,

If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.
MAIN BEARING CAP BOLT OUTER DIAMETER
Measure the outer diameters (“d1 ”, “d2 ”) at two positions as
shown in the figure.
If reduction appears in “A” range, regard it as “d2 ”.
If it exceeds the limit (large difference in dimensions), replace
main bearing cap bolt with new one.

Check drive plate and signal plate for deformation or damage.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble drive plate.

Check nozzle for deformation and damage.
Blow compressed air from nozzle, and check for clogs.
If it is not satisfied, clean or replace oil jet.

Using a clean plastic stick, press check valve in oil jet relief
valve. Make sure that valve moves smoothly with proper reac-
tion force.
