Main Bearing Grade Table (All Journals)
Undersize Bearing Usage Guide
When the specified main bearing oil clearance is not obtained with standard size main bearings, use
underside (US) bearing.
When using undersize (US) bearing, measure the main bearing inner diameter with bearing installed, and
grind main journal so that the main bearing oil clearance satisfies the standard.
CAUTION:
In grinding crankshaft main journal to use undersize bear-
ings, keep the fillet R [1.5 – 1.7 mm (0.059 – 0.067 in)].

If the calculated value exceeds the limit, select proper connecting rod bearing according to connecting rod
big end diameter and crankshaft pin journal diameter to obtain the specified bearing oil clearance. Refer
to EM-120, "
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage
Remove oil and dust on crankshaft pin journal and the surfaces of each bearing completely.
Cut plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil
holes.
Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and cap, and tighten connecting rod bolts to the speci-
fied torque. Refer to E M - 111 , "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft.
Remove connecting rod bearing cap and bearing, and using
scale on plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is
same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”.
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Calculation
Install main bearings (3) to cylinder block (1) and lower cylinder
block (2), and tighten lower cylinder block bolts to the specified
torque. Refer to EM-111, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening proce-
dure.
Measure the inner diameter of main bearing with bore gauge.
(Bearing clearance) = (Main bearing inner diameter) – (Crankshaft
main journal diameter)
If the clearance exceeds the limit, select proper main bearing according to main bearing inner diameter
and crankshaft main journal diameter to obtain the specified bearing oil clearance. Refer to EM-122,
"HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage
Remove oil and dust on crankshaft main journal and the surfaces of each bearing completely.
Cut plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil
holes.
Install main bearings to cylinder block and lower cylinder block, and tighten lower cylinder block bolts with
lower cylinder block to the specified torque. Refer to E M - 111 , "
ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft.

Remove lower cylinder block and bearings, and using scale on
plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is
same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”.
CRUSH HEIGHT OF MAIN BEARING
When lower cylinder block is removed after being tightened to
the specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of
bearing must protrude. Refer to E M - 111 , "
ASSEMBLY" for the
tightening procedure.
If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.
CRUSH HEIGHT OF CONNECTING ROD BEARING
When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tight-
ened to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings
installed, the tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to E M - 111 ,
"ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.
If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.
LOWER CYLINDER BLOCK BOLT OUTER DIAMETER
Measure the outer diameters (“d1 ”, “d2 ”) at two positions as
shown in the figure.
If reduction appears in “A” range, regard it as “d2 ”.
If it exceeds the limit (large difference in dimensions), replace
lower cylinder block bolt with new one.
