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.
Tightening torque
Main bearing cap No.1 bolt ((1) – (10)):
Tighten 30 N⋅m (3.0 kgf-m, 22.0 lb-ft), 50 N⋅m
(5.0 kgf-m, 36.5 lb-ft) and 60° by the specified
procedure
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.
Main bearing clearance
Standard: 0.021 – 0.041 mm (0.0008 – 0.0016 in.)
Limit: 0.054 mm (0.0021 in.)

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.).

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.

• If necessary, regrind crankshaft journal and select undersize bearing to use with it as follows.
a. Regrind journal to the following finished diameter.
Finished journal diameter
51.7320 – 51.7500 mm (2.0367 – 2.0374 in.)
b. Using micrometer, measure regrind journal diameter.
Measurement should be taken in two directions perpendicular to each other in order to check for out-of-round.
c. Using journal diameter measured above and alphabets stamped on cylinder block, select an undersize bearing
by referring to the following table.
Check bearing clearance with newly selected undersize bearing.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Oil Pressure CheckS6RW0D1504001
WARNING!
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not
touch the exhaust system when the system is
hot. Any service on the exhaust system
should be performed when the system is
cool.
NOTE
Prior to checking oil pressure, check the
following.
• Oil level in oil pan
If oil level is low, add oil up to full level
mark (hole) (1) on oil level gauge referring
to “Engine Oil and Filter Change in Section
0B”.
• Oil quality
If oil is discolored or deteriorated, change
it. For particular oil to be used, refer to
“Engine Oil and Filter Change in Section
0B”.
• Oil leaks
If leak is found, repair it.
1) Disconnect oil pressure switch coupler (1).
2) Remove oil pressure switch (2) from cylinder block.3) Install special tools (oil pressure gauge) to vacated
threaded hole of oil pressure switch.
Special tool
(A): 09915–77310
(B): 09915–78211
4) Start engine and warm engine up to normal
operating temperature.
NOTE
Be sure to shift transaxle gear shift lever in
“Neutral”, set parking brake and block drive
wheels.
5) After warming up, raise engine speed to 4,000 r/min.
and measure oil pressure.
Oil pressure specification
More than 270 kPa (2.7 kgf/cm2, 39.8 psi) at 4,000
r/min. (rpm)
6) After checking oil pressure, stop engine and remove
oil pressure gauge and attachment.
