Use Undersize Bearing Usage Guide
• When the specified main bearing oil clearance is not obtained with standard size main bearings, use under- size (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 jour nal to use undersize bearings,
keep the fillet R [1.5 - 1.7 mm (0.059 - 0.067 in)] (A).

CRANKSHAFT END PLAY
• Measure the clearance between thrust bearings and crankshaft arm when crankshaft is moved fully forward or backward with a dial
indicator (A).
• If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace thrust bearings, and measure again. If it still exc eeds the limit, replace crankshaft
also.

• Measure the side clearance between connecting rod and crank-
shaft arm with a feeler gauge (A).
• If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace connecting rod, and measure again. If it still exceeds the limit, replace crankshaft
also.
PISTON TO PISTON PIN OIL CLEARANCE
Piston Pin Hole Diameter Measure the inner diameter of piston pin hole with an inside
micrometer (A).
Piston Pin Outer Diameter Measure the outer diameter of piston pin with a micrometer (A).
Piston to Piston Pin Oil Clearance (Piston to piston pin oil clearance) = (Piston pi n hole diameter) – (Piston pin outer diameter)
• If oil clearance is out of the standard, replace piston and piston pin assembly.
• When replacing piston and piston pin assembly, follow the "Piston to Cylinder Bore Clearance" procedure.
NOTE:
• Piston is available together with piston pin as assembly.
• Piston pin (piston pin hole) grade is provided only for the parts installed at the plant. For service parts, no grades can be selected. (Only grade “0” is available.)

• Measure the outer diameter of crankshaft main journals with a

• If out of the standard, measure the main bearing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing. Follow the "MAIN BEARING OIL
CLEARANCE" procedure.
CRANKSHAFT PIN JOURNAL DIAMETER
• Measure the outer diameter of crankshaft pin journal with a micrometer.
• If out of the standard, measure the connecting rod bear ing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing. Follow
the "CONNECTING ROD BEARIN G OIL CLEARANCE" procedure.
OUT-OF-ROUND AND TAPER OF CRANKSHAFT
• Measure the dimensions at four different points as shown on each main journal and pin journal with a micrometer.
• Out-of-round is indicated by the difference in dimensions 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 the measured value exceeds the lim it, correct or replace crankshaft.
• If corrected, measure the bearing oil clearance of t he corrected main journal and/or pin journal. Then select
main bearing and/or connecting rod bearing. Follow the "MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" and/or "CON-
NECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" procedures.
CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT
• Place a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals on the both end of the crankshaft.
• Place a dial indicator (A) straight up on the No. 3 journal.
• While rotating crankshaft, read t he movement of the pointer on the
dial indicator. (Total indicator reading)
• If it exceeds the limit, replace crankshaft.
