55. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT THRUST CLEARANCE
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance
while prying the crankshaft back and forth with a
screwdriver.
Standard thrust clearance:
0.04 to 0.24 mm (0.0016 to 0.0094 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance:
0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than the maximum,
replace the thrust washers as a set. If necessary,
replace the crankshaft.
Standard thrust washer thickness:
2.43 to 2.48 mm (0.0957 to 0.0976 in.)
56. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT OIL
CLEARANCE
(a) Uniformly loosen and remove the 8 main bearing
cap bolts and seal washers in several steps, in the
sequence shown in the illustration.
(b) Uniformly loosen the 16 bearing cap bolts in several

the cylinder block and main bearing caps.
(d) Clean each main journal and bearing.
(e) Check each main journal and bearing for pitting and
scratches.
HINT:
If the journal or bearing is damaged, replace the
bearing.
(f) Place the crankshaft on the cylinder block.
(g) Lay a strip of Plastigage across each journal.
(h) Examine the front marks and numbers and install
the bearing caps on the cylinder block.

(t) If replacing a bearing, replace it with one having the
same number. If the number of the bearing cannot
be determined, select the correct bearing by adding
together the numbers imprinted on the cylinder
block and crankshaft, then refer to the table below
for the appropriate bearing number. There are 5
sizes of standard bearings, marked "1", "2", "3", "4"
and "5" accordingly.
Journal bearing
