2006 QX56
CRANKSHAFT PIN DIAMETER

Measure diameter of crankshaft pin using suitable tool.

If measurement is out of standard, measure connecting rod
bearing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing. Refer to EM-
100, "CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" .
OUT-OF-ROUND AND TAPER OF CRANKSHAFT

Measure dimensions at four different points as shown on each
journal and pin.

Out-of-roundness is indicated by the difference in dimension
between ″X″ and ″Y″ at ″A″ and ″B″ .

Taper is indicated by the difference in dimension between ″A″
and ″B″ at ″X″ and ″Y″ .

If measured value exceeds the standard, correct or replace crankshaft.

If corrected, measure the bearing oil clearance of the corrected journal or pin. Then select the main bear-
ing or connecting rod bearing. Refer to EM-101, "
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" or EM-100, "CON-
NECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" .
CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT

Place a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals on
both ends of the crankshaft.

Measure at No. 3 journal using suitable tool.

While rotating crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer.

Half of the movement shows the runout.

If measurement exceeds the limit, replace crankshaft.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method of Measurement

Install connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod and cap. Tighten connecting rod bolts to the speci-
fied torque. Refer to EM-82, "
ASSEMBLY" .

Measure inside diameter of connecting rod bearing.
(Oil clearance) = (Inside diameter of connecting rod bearing) –
(Crankshaft pin diameter)

If clearance cannot be adjusted within the standard, grind crank-
shaft pin and use undersized bearing. Refer to EM-90, "
HOW
TO SELECT MAIN BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage

Remove oil and dust on the crankshaft pin and surfaces of each
bearing completely.

Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and
place it in the crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.

Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod and
connecting rod bearing cap, and tighten the connecting rod bolts
to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft with plastigage installed.

Remove the connecting rod bearing cap and bearings. Measure
the plastigage width using the scale on the plastigage bag.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the repair limit is the same as that described in
“Method of Measurement”.
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method of Measurement

Install the main bearings to the cylinder block and main bearing
cap. Measure the main bearing inside diameter with the bearing
cap bolts tightened to the specified torque. Refer to EM-82,
"ASSEMBLY" .
(Oil clearance) = (Inside diameter of main bearing) – (Crank-
shaft journal diameter)

If measured value exceeds the repair limit, select main bearings referring to the main bearing inside diam-
eter and crankshaft journal diameter, so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard. Refer to EM-90,
"HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING" .
Standard : 0.020 - 0.039 mm (0.0008 - 0.0015 in)
Limit : 0.055 mm (0.0022 in)

each bearing completely.

Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and
place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.

Install the main bearings to the cylinder block and main bearing
cap, and tighten the main bearing bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft with plastigage installed.

Remove bearing cap and bearings. Measure plastigage width
using the scale on the plastigage bag.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the repair limit is the same as that described in
“Method of Measurement”.
CRUSH HEIGHT OF MAIN BEARING

When the bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the
specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of the
bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-82, "
ASSEMBLY" for the
tightening procedure.

If standard is not met, replace main bearings.
CRUSH HEIGHT OF CONNECTING ROD BEARING

When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tight-
ened to the specified torque with the connecting rod bearings
installed, the tip end of the bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-
82, "ASSEMBLY" for tightening procedure.

If standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.
MAIN BEARING CAP BOLT DIAMETER

Check for bolts (M9 and M12) installed from lower side using the
following procedure.
NOTE:

Side bolt (M10) is outside the target.

Figure shows M12 bolt.

Measure bolt diameter ″d1″ from tip of the bolt to dimension "a".

Measure bolt diameter ″d2 ″ from the dimension between tip of
the bolt and dimension ″b ″ as base station to dimension ″c ″.
NOTE:
If a narrower part in the threads is determined by visual check,
measure ″d2 ″ at that point.

Calculate the difference between ″d1 ″ and ″d2 ″.

INSTALLATION
1. Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new front oil seal.
Then drive the new front oil seal in evenly to the gear carrier
using Tool.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse front oil seal.

Do not incline the new front oil seal when installing.

Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new front oil
seal.
2. Install the companion flange to the drive pinion while aligning the matching marks.
3. Apply anti-corrosive oil to the threads of the drive pinion and the seating surface of the new drive pinion lock nut. Then adjust the
drive pinion lock nut tightening torque using Tool A, and check
the total preload torque using Tool B.

The total preload torque should be within the total preload
torque specification. When not replacing the collapsible
spacer, it should also be equal to the measurement taken dur-
ing removal plus an additional 0.56 N·m (0.06 Kg-m, 5 in-lb).

If the total preload torque is low, tighten the drive pinion lock
nut in 6.8 N·m (0.69 Kg-m, 5ft-lb) increments until the total
preload torque is met.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse drive pinion lock nut.

Apply anti-corrosive oil to the threads of the drive pinion
and the seating surface of the new drive pinion lock nut.

Adjust the drive pinion lock nut tightening torque to the
lower limit first. Do not exceed the drive pinion lock nut
specified torque. Refer to FFD-14, "
COMPONENTS" .

Do not loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the total preload torque. If the drive pinion lock nut
torque or the total preload torque exceeds the specifications, replace the collapsible spacer and
tighten it again to adjust. Refer to FFD-14, "
Disassembly and Assembly" .

After adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise, rota-
tion malfunction, and other malfunctions.
4. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal. CAUTION:
Check the differential gear oil level after installation. Refer to FFD-7, "
