CYLINDER BLOCK
• Measure the outer diameter of crankshaft main journals with a
micrometer (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.

• Install connecting rod bearings (2) to connecting rod (3) and con-
necting rod bearing cap (1), and tighten connecting rod bolts to the
specified torque. Refer to EM-200, " Disassembly and Assembly "
for tightening procedure.
• Measure the inner diameter of connecting rod bearing with an inside micrometer.
(Bearing oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bearing inner diameter)
– (Crankshaft pin journal diameter)
• If clearance exceeds the limit, select proper c onnecting rod bearing according to connecting rod big end
diameter and crankshaft pin journal diameter to obtain specified bearing oil clearance. Refer to EM-209," How to Select Piston and Bearing " .
Method of Using Plastigage • Remove engine oil and dust on crankshaft pin and the surfaces of each bearing completely.
• Cut a 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 c ap, and tighten connecting rod bolts to the specified
torque. Refer to EM-200, " Disassembly and Assembly " for the tightening procedure.
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft.
• Remove connecting rod cap and bearing, and using the scale (A) on the 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 main bearing cap (2), and tighten main bearing cap bolts to the specified torque.
Refer to EM-200, " Disassembly and Assembly " for the tightening
procedure.
• Measure the inner diameter of main bearing with a bore gauge.
(Bearing oil clearance) = (Main bearing inner diameter) – (Crank-
shaft main journal diameter) A : Example
B : Inner diameter measuring direction
Standard : 0.037 - 0.047 mm (0.0015 - 0.0019 in)

Method of Using Plastigage
• Remove engine oil and dust on crankshaft main journal and the surfaces of each bearing completely.
• Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil
holes.
• Install main bearings to cylinder block and main bearing cap, and tighten main bearing cap bolts to the spec- ified torque. Refer to EM-200, " Disassembly and Assembly " for the tightening procedure.
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft.
• Remove main bearing cap and bearings, and using the scale (A) on the 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 CRUSH HEIGHT
• When main bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the specified torque with main bearings (1) installed, the tip end of
bearing must protrude (B). Refer to EM-200, " Disassembly and
Assembly " for the tightening procedure.
• If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT
• When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings (1) installed,
the tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-200, " Disassem-
bly and Assembly " for the tightening procedure (B).
• If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.

CLOGGED OR DAMAGED OIL FILTER (FOR INTAKE VALVE TIMING CONTROL)
• Make sure that there is no foreign material on the oil filter and check it for clogging.
- Clean it if necessary.
• Check the oil filter for damage.
- Replace it if necessary.
FLYWHEEL DEFLECTION (M/T MODELS) • Measure the deflection of flywheel contact surface to clutch with a dial indicator (A).
• Measure the deflection at 210 mm (8.27 in) diameter.
• If measured value is out of the standard, replace flywheel.
• If a trace of burn or discolorati on is found on the surface, repair it
with sandpaper.
CAUTION:
When measuring, keep magnetic fields (such as dial indicator
stand) away from signal plate of the rear end of crankshaft.
MOVEMENT AMOUNT OF FLYWHEEL (M/T MODELS) CAUTION:
Never disassemble double mass flywheel.
Movement Amount of Thrust (Fore-and-Aft) Direction • Measure the movement amount of thrust (fore-and-af t) direction when 100 N (10.2 kg, 22 lb) force is added
at the portion of 125 mm (4.92 in) radi us from the center of flywheel.
