Measure each thread diameter of connecting rod bolt (2)
at “A” on 32 mm (1.25 in.) from bolt mounting surface
and “B” on 40 mm (1.57 in.) from bolt mounting surface
by using a micrometer (3).
Calculate difference in diameters (“A” – “B”). If it is
exceeds limit, replace connected rod (1).

Crank Pin Diameter
Inspect crank pin for uneven wear or damage. Measure
crank pin for out-of-round or taper with a micrometer. If
crank pin is damaged or out-of round or taper is out of
limit, replace crankshaft or regrind crank pin to undersize
and use undersize bearing.

Connecting Rod Bearing General Information
Service connecting rod bearings are available in
standard size and 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.) undersize
bearing, and standard size bearing has 5 kinds of
bearings differing in tolerance.
For identification of undersize bearing, it is painted red at
the position as indicated in figure, undersize bearing
thickness is 1.605 – 1.615 mm (0.0632 – 0.0635 in.) at
the center of it.
Connecting Rod Bearing Visual Inspection
Inspect bearing shells for signs of fusion, pitting, burn or
flaking and observe contact pattern. Bearing shells
found in defective condition must be replaced.
Connecting Rod Bearing Clearance
1) Before checking bearing clearance, clean bearing
and crank pin.
2) Install bearing in connecting rod and bearing cap.
3) Place a piece of gauging plastic (1) to full width of
crank pin as contacted by bearing (parallel to
crankshaft), avoiding oil hole.4) Install rod bearing cap (1) to connecting rod.
When installing cap, be sure to point arrow mark (2)
on cap to crankshaft pulley side, as shown in figure.
After applying engine oil to rod bolts, tighten cap nuts
(3) gradually as follows.
a) Tighten all cap nuts to 15 N⋅m (1.5 kgf-m, 11.0 lb-
ft)
b) Retighten them to 45°
c) Repeat Step b) once again.
Tightening torque
Connecting rod bearing cap nut (a): Tighten
15 N⋅m (1.5 kgf-m, 11.0 lb-ft) 45° and 45° by
the specified procedure
5) Remove cap and using a scale (1) on gauging
plastic envelope (2), measure gauging plastic (2)
width at the widest point (clearance).
If clearance exceed its limit, use a new standard size
bearing referring to “Selection of Connecting Rod
Bearings: ”.
After selecting new bearing, recheck clearance.
Connecting rod bearing clearance
Standard: 0.029 – 0.047 mm (0.0011 – 0.0018 in.)
Limit: 0.065 mm (0.0026 in.)
6) If clearance can not be brought to its limit even by
using a new standard size bearing, use next thicker
bearing and recheck clearance or regrind crank pin
to undersize and use 0.25 mm undersize bearing.

Selection of Connecting Rod Bearings
NOTE
• 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.
• When replacing crankshaft or connecting
rod and its bearing due to any reason,
select new standard bearings to be
installed by referring to numbers stamped
on connecting rod and its cap and/or
alphabets stamped on crank web of No.3
cylinder.

1) Check stamped numbers on connecting rod and its
cap as shown.
Three kinds of numbers (“1”, “2” and “3”) represent
the following connecting rod big end inside
diameters.
For example, stamped number “1” indicates that
corresponding connecting rod big end inside
diameter is 45.000 – 45.006 mm (1.7717 – 1.7718
in.).
Connecting rod big end inside diameter
2) Next, check crankshaft pin diameter. On crank web
No.3, four alphabets are stamped as shown in figure.
Three kinds of alphabet (“A”, “B” and “C”) represent
the following crankshaft pin diameter respectively.
For example, stamped “A” indicates that
corresponding crankshaft pin diameter is 41.994 –
42.000 mm (1.6533 – 1.6534 in.).

3) There are five 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 connecting rod and its cap
and alphabets stamped on crank web No.3,
determine new standard bearing to be installed to
connecting rod big end inside, by referring to the
table.
For example, if number stamped on connecting rod
and its cap is “1” and alphabet stamped on crank
web No.3 is “B”, install a new standard bearing
painted in “Black” to its connecting rod big end
inside.

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.

6) Install bearing cap to cylinder block, making sure to
point arrow mark (on each cap) to crankshaft pulley
side. Fit them sequentially in ascending order, 1, 2,
3, 4 and 5, starting from pulley side.
After applying engine oil to main bearing cap No.1
bolts ((1) – (10)) and main bearing cap No.2 bolts
((11) – (20)), tighten them gradually as follows.
a) Tighten bolts ((1) – (10)) to 30 N⋅m (3.0 kgf-m,
22.0 lb-ft) according to numerical order as shown
by using a 12 corner socket wrenches.
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 as
shown.
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

CAUTION!
After tightening cap bolts, check to be sure
that crankshaft rotates smoothly when
turning it by 12 N⋅m (1.2 kgf-m, 9.0 lb-ft)
torque or below.

7) If necessary, press-fit rear oil seal (1) to oil seal
