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 (Dp) of crankshaft pin journal with amicrometer.
• If out of the standard, measure the connecting rod bearing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing. Follow the "CONNECT-
ING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" procedure.
OUT-OF-ROUND AND TAPER OF CRANKSHAFT
• Measure the dimensions at four different points as shown on eachmain 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.

for tightening procedure.
• Measure the inner diameter of connecting rod bearing with an inside micrometer.
(Bearing oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bearing inner diameter)

• If clearance exceeds the limit, select proper connecting rod bearing according to connecting rod big end diameter and crankshaft pin journal diameter to obtain specified bearing oil clearance. Refer to EM-205,
"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-196, "
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”.

• If measured value is out of the standard, replace flywheel.
Movement Amount in Radial (Rotation) Direction
Check the movement amount of radial (rot
ation) direction with the following procedure:
1. Install clutch cover bolt (1) to clutch cover mating hole, and place a torque wrench (A) on the extended line of the flywheel
(2) center line.
• Tighten bolt at a force of 9.8 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 87 in-lb) to keep itfrom loosening.
2. Put a mating mark on circumferences of the two flywheel masses without applying any load (Measurement standard
points).
3. Apply a force of 9.8 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 87 in-lb) in each direction, and mark the movement amount on the mass on the transaxle
side.
4. Measure the dimensions of movement amounts (A) and (B) on circumference of the flywheel on the transaxle side.
