Kia Carnival (2007 year). Manual — part 21

(9) 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.

(10) 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.

3. Check the connecting rod.

(1) When reinstalling, check the cylinder numbers on the connecting rods and the caps. When installing a new

connecting rod, the notches for bearing fixing on the connecting rods and caps should face the same direction.

(2) If one or both edge of the connecting rod thrust surface is damaged, replace the rod. If the inner surface of the

rod is damaged or rough, also replace it.

(3) Using a connecting rod aligner, measure the bent or torsion of the rod. If the measurement is near the

specification, adjust the rod with a press. If the rod is bent or twisted excessily, replace it.

Bending : 0.05mm/100mm(0.0020in./3.9370in.)
Torsion : 0.1mm/100mm(0.0039in./3.9370in.)

When assembling the rod without a bearing, there should be no difference.

4. Check the crankshaft bearing oil clearance.

(1) To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance, remove the main bearing 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
M8 : 15.7Nm(1.6 kgf.m, 11.6lb-ft) + 90°
M10 : 29.4 Nm(3.0 kgf.m, 21.7lb-ft)+ 90°

Tighten the bolts in order.

(5) Remove the cap and bearing again, and measure the widest part of the plastigage.

Standard oil clearance
0.004~ 0.022mm (0.0002 ~ 0.0009in.)

(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 mark location
Letters have been stamped on the block as a mark for the each size of the 4 main journal bores.
No.1 journal stamping mark starts from the front of the engine.
Use the size marks which are stamped on the block and the crankshaft for the journal bore inner diameter and
the journal outer diameter to choose the correct bearings.
