2) Next, check crankshaft pin diameter. On crank web

No.3, four alphabets are stamped as shown in the
figure.
Three kinds of alphabet (“A”, “B” and “C”) represent
the following crankshaft pin diameter respectively.
For example, stamped “A” indicates that
corresponding crankshaft pin diameter is 41.994 –
42.000 mm (1.6533 – 1.6534 in.).

Crankshaft pin outer diameter

3) There are five kinds of standard bearings differing in

thickness. To distinguish them, they are painted in
the following colors at the position as indicated in the
figure.
Each color indicated the following thickness at the
center of bearing.

thickness

4) From number stamped on connecting rod and its cap

and alphabets stamped on crank web No.3,
determine new standard bearing to be installed to
connecting rod big end inside, by referring to the
table.
For example, if number stamped on connecting rod
and its cap is “1” and alphabet stamped on crank
web No.3 is “B”, install a new standard bearing
painted in “Black” to its connecting rod big end
inside.

Installation

NOTE

• All parts to be installed must be perfectly

clean.

• Be sure to oil crankshaft journals, journal

bearings, thrust bearings, crankpins,
connecting rod bearings, pistons, piston
rings and cylinder bores.

• Journal bearings, bearing caps,

connecting rods, rod bearings, rod bearing
caps, pistons and piston rings are in
combination sets. Do not disturb such
combination and make sure that each part
goes back to where it came from, when
installing.

After applying engine oil to main bearing cap No.1
bolts ((1) – (10)) and main bearing cap No.2 bolts
((11) – (20)), tighten them gradually as follows.

NOTE
If main bearing cap No.1 bolt is reused, make
sure to check main bearing cap No.1 bolt for
deformation referring to “Main Bearing Cap
No.1 Bolt” under “Main Bearings Inspection:
For M16A Engine with VVT”.

a) Tighten bolts ((1) – (10)) to 30 N

⋅m (3.0 kgf-m,

22.0 lb-ft) according to numerical order as shown
by using a 12 corner socket wrenches.

b) In the same manner as in Step a), tighten them

to 50 N

⋅m (5.0 kgf-m, 36.5 lb-ft).

c) In the same manner as in Step a), retighten them

to 60

°.

d) Tighten bolts ((11) – (20)) to 25 N

⋅m (2.5 kgf-m,

18.0 lb-ft) according to numerical order as
shown.
