>>D<<BEARING CAP/BEARING CAP BOLT INSTALLATION

1. Install the bearing cap on the cylinder block, so that the

arrow points to the timing belt side.

2. Tighten the bearing cap bolts to 93 N

⋅

m (69 ft-lb) in the

specified tightening sequence.

3. Check that the crankshaft rotates smoothly.
4. Check the end play. If it exceeds the limit value, replace the

thrust bearing.

>>F<< OIL SEAL CASE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
1. Apply sealant Mitsubishi Genuine Part number MD970389

or equivalent to the gasket surface of oil seal case.

NOTE: Be sure to install the case quickly while the sealant is
wet (within 15 minutes).

2. Apply engine oil to the lip of the oil seal, and then install the

oil seal case onto the cylinder block.

NOTE: After installation, keep the sealed area away from
the oil for approximately one hour.

CRANKSHAFT JOURNAL OIL CLEARANCE (PLASTIC
GAUGING MATERIAL METHOD)
1. Remove oil from the crankshaft journal and crankshaft

bearing.

2. Install the crankshaft.

3. Cut plastic gauging material to the same length as the width

of the bearing and place it on the journal in parallel with its
axis.

4. Install the crankshaft bearing cap carefully and tighten the

bolts to the specified torque.

5. Carefully remove the crankshaft bearing cap.

6. Measure the width of the plastic gauging material at its

widest part by using a scale printed on the plastic gauging
material package.

Standard value: 0.02

Limit: 0.1 mm (0.003 inch)

CYLINDER BLOCK
1. Visually check for scratches, rust, and corrosion. Use also a

flaw detecting agent for the check. If defects are evident,
correct, or replace.

2. Using a straightedge and feeler gauge, check the block top

surface for warpage. Make sure that the surface is free from
gasket chips and other foreign matter.

Standard value: 0.05 mm (0.002 inch)
Limit: 0.1 mm (0.003 inch)

3. If the distortion is excessive, correct within the allowable

limit or replace.

Grinding limit: 0.2 mm (0.008 inch)

*Includes/combined with cylinder head grinding.

Cylinder block height (when new):

210.5 mm (8.29 inches)

4. Check the cylinder walls for scratches and seizure. If defects

are evident, replace or bore to oversize and replace pistons
and piston rings.

5. Using a cylinder gauge, measure the cylinder bore and

cylindricity. If worn badly, correct by boring the cylinders to
an oversize and replace pistons and piston rings. Measure
at the points shown in the illustration.

Standard value:

Cylinder Inside Diameter: 91.1 mm (3.59 inches)
Cylindricity: 0.01 mm (0.0003 inch)

BORING CYLINDER
1. Oversize pistons to be used should be determined on the

basis of the largest bore cylinder.
Piston size identification

NOTE: Size mark is stamped on the piston top.

2. Measure the outside diameter of the piston to be used.

Measure it in the thrust direction as shown.

3. Based on the measured piston Outside Diameter (OD),

calculate the boring finish dimension.

Boring finish dimension =

Piston OD + (clearance between piston OD and

cylinder)

−−−−

0.02 mm (0.0008 inch) (honing margin)

CAUTION

To prevent distortion that may result from temperature rise
during honing, bore cylinders in the order of number 2,
number 4, number 6, number 1, number 3 and number 5.
4. Bore all cylinders to the calculated boring finish dimension.

5. Hone to the final finish dimension (piston OD + clearance

between piston OD and cylinder).

6. Check the clearance between the piston and cylinder.

Clearance between piston and cylinder:

0.02

−−−−

0.04 mm (0.0008 -.0015 inch)

NOTE: When boring cylinders, finish all of six cylinders to
the same oversize. Do not bore only one cylinder to an
oversize.
