1. |
Check the crankshaft bearing oil clearance.
|
(1) |
To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance,
remove the main caps and bearing halves.
|
|
(2) |
Clean each main journal and bearing half
with a clean shop tower.
|
|
(3) |
Place one strip of plastigage across each
main journal.
|
|
(4) |
Reinstall the bearings and caps, then torque
the bolts.
Tightening
torque
14.7N.m (1.5kgf.m, 10.8lb-ft) + 27.5~31.4Nm
(2.8~3.2kgf.m, 20.3~23.1lb-ft) + 120~125°
|
|
Do not turn the crankshaft.
|
|
|
(5) |
Remove the cap and bearing again, and measure
the widest part of the plastigage.
Standard
oil clearance
0.020 ~ 0.038mm (0.00079 ~ 0.00150in.)
|

|
|
(6) |
If the plastigage measures too wide or too
narrow, remove the upper half of the bearing, install a new,
complete bearing with the same color mark (select the color
as shown in the next column), and recheck the clearance.
|
Do not file, shim, or scrape the
bearings or the caps to adjust clearance.
|
|
|
(7) |
If the plastigage shows the clearance is
still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the
color listed above or below that one), and check clearance again.
|
If the proper clearance cannot be
obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller
bearings, replace the crankshaft and start over.
|
|
If the marks are indecipherable because
of an accumulation of dirt and dust, do not scrub them
with a wire brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent
or detergent.

Crankshaft Bore Identification Mark

Letters have been stamped on the block as a mark
for the size of each of the 5 main journal bores.
Use them, and the numbers or bar stamped on the crank
(marks for main journal size), to choose the correct bearings.
