Installation
NOTE
• Use new bearing cap No.1 bolts. They are
deformed once they are used because they
are plastic deformation tightening bolts.
• 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, bearing caps,
connecting rods, rod bearings, rod bearing
caps, pistons and piston rings are in
combination sets. Do not disturb such
combination and make sure that each part
goes back to where it came from, when
installing.

1) Install sensor plate (1) to crankshaft (2) and tighten
bolts to specified torque.
NOTE
When installing sensor plate, align spring pin
(3) on crankshaft and hole of sensor plate.

Tightening torque
Sensor plate bolt (a): 11 N·m (1.1 kgf-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) Confirm that dowel pins (1) are installed to intake
side of each journal.
4) Install crankshaft to cylinder block.
5) Install thrust bearings (1) to cylinder block between
No.2 and No.3 cylinders. Face oil groove (2) sides to
crank webs.

Out-of-Round and Taper (Uneven Wear) of Journals
An unevenly worn crankshaft journal shows up as a
difference in diameter at a cross section or along its
length (or both). This difference, if any, is determined by
taking micrometer readings. If any one of journals is
badly damaged or if amount of uneven wear in the sense
exceeds its limit, regrind or replace crankshaft.

Main Bearings InspectionS6RW0D1406040
General Information
• Service main bearings are available in standard size
and 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.) undersize, and each of them
has 5 kinds of bearings differing in tolerance.
• Upper half of bearing (1) has 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. Never replace either half without replacing
the other half.
Main Bearing Clearance
NOTE
Do not rotate crankshaft while gauging
plastic is installed.

Check clearance by using gauging plastic according to
the following 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 main bearing cap No.1 bolts (1) – (10) and
main bearing cap No.2 bolts (11) – (20) gradually as
follows.
a) Tighten bolts (1) – (10) to 30 N⋅m (3.0 kgf-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 kgf-m, 36.5 lb-ft).
c) In the same manner as in Step a), retighten them
to 60°.
d) Tighten bolts (11) – (20) to 25 N⋅m (2.5 kgf-m,
18.0 lb-ft) according to numerical order in figure.

Main bearing cap No.2 bolt ((11) – (20)):
Tighten 25 N⋅m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.0 lb-ft) by the
specified procedure
5) Remove bearing caps and using scale (1) on
gauging plastic envelop (2), measure gauging plastic
width at its widest point. If clearance exceeds its
limit, replace bearing. Always replace both upper
and lower inserts as a unit.
A new standard bearing may produce proper
clearance. If not, it will be necessary to regrind
crankshaft journal for use of 0.25 mm undersize
bearing.
After selecting new bearing, recheck clearance.

Selection of Main Bearings
Standard bearing
If bearing is in malcondition, or bearing clearance is out
of specification, select a new standard bearing according
to the following procedure and install it.
1) First check journal diameter. As shown in figure,
crank web No.2 has stamped numbers.
Three kinds of numbers (“1”, “2” and “3”) represent
the following journal diameters.
Stamped numbers on crank web No.2 represent
journal diameters marked with an arrow in figure
respectively. For example of M15 engine, stamped
number “1” indicates that corresponding journal
diameter is 51.9940 – 52.0000 mm (2.0471 – 2.0472
in.).
Crankshaft journal diameter2) Next, check bearing cap bore diameter without
bearing. On mating surface of cylinder block, five
alphabets are stamped as shown in figure.
Three kinds of alphabets (“A”, “B” and “C”) or
numbers (“1”, “2” and “3”) represent the following
cap bore diameters.
Stamped alphabets or numbers on cylinder block
represent bearing cap bore diameter marked with an
arrow in figure respectively.
For example, stamped “A” or “1” indicates that
corresponding bearing cap bore diameter is 56.0000
– 56.0060 mm (2.2048 – 2.2049 in.).

3) There are 5 kinds of standard bearings differing in
thickness. To distinguish them, they are painted in
the following colors at the position as indicated in
figure.
Each color indicated the following thickness at the
center of bearing.

4) From number stamped on crank web No.2 and alphabets stamped on cylinder block, determine new standard
bearing to be installed to journal, by referring to the table shown.
For example, if number stamped on crank web No.2 is “1” and alphabet stamped on cylinder block is “B”, install a
new standard bearing painted in “Brown” to its journal.

5) Using scale (1) on gauging plastic (2), check bearing clearance with newly selected standard bearing.
If clearance still exceeds its limit, use next thicker bearing and recheck clearance.
6) When replacing crankshaft or cylinder block due to any reason, select new standard bearings to be installed by
referring to number stamped on new crankshaft or alphabets stamped on new cylinder block.
Undersize bearing (0.25 mm (0.0098 in.))
• 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.) undersize bearing is available, in five kinds varying in thickness.
To distinguish them, each bearing is painted in the following colors at such position as indicated in figure.
Each color represents the following thickness at the center of bearing.
