CAMSHAFT
1. Put V block on precise flat work bench, and support No. 1 andNo. 5 journals of the camshaft.
2. Set dial indicator vertically to No. 3 journal.
3. Turn the camshaft to one direction, and measure the camshaft runout on dial indicator (total indicator reading).
• If measurement exceeds specif ication, replace the camshaft.
Camshaft Cam Height
• Measure the camshaft cam height.
• If measurement is not within the specifications, replace the cam-
shaft.
Camshaft Journal Clearance
Camshaft Journal Diameter• Measure the diameter of the camshaft journal.
Camshaft Bracket Inner Diameter• Tighten the camshaft bracket bolt to the specified torque.
• Measure the inner diameter of the camshaft bracket.
Calculation of Camshaft Journal Clearance
(Journal clearance) = (camshaft bracket inner diameter) – (camshaft
journal diameter)
• If measurement is not within spec ification, replace either or both
camshaft and cylinder head.

1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston-to-bore clearance to piston diameter “A”.
2. Install main bearing caps, and tighten them to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be dis-
torted in final assembly.
3. Cut the cylinder bores.
NOTE:
• When any cylinder needs boring, all other cylinders must also be bored.
• Do not cut too much out of cylinder bore at one time. Cut only 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or so in diameter at a
time.
4. Hone cylinders to obtain the specified piston-to-bore clearance.
5. Measure finished cylinder bore for out-of-round and taper.
NOTE:
Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
CRANKSHAFT JOURNAL DIAMETER
• Measure diameter of crankshaft journals.
• If measurement is out of standard, measure the main bearing oil clearance. Then use the undersize bearing.
CRANKSHAFT PIN DIAMETER
• Measure diameter of crankshaft pin using suitable tool.
• If measurement is out of standard, measure connecting rod bear-
ing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing.
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 bearing
or connecting rod bearing. Rebored size calculation: D = A +B - C

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 specified
torque. Refer to EM-78, "
Disassembly and 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-86, "
How to
Select Piston and 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 con-
necting 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-78, "
