6. Check end play of the crankshaft after installing the

crankshaft bearing cap. If the end play exceeds the limit,
replace the thrust bearing.

Standard value: 0.05

− 0.25 mm (0.002 − 0.010 inch)

Limit: 0.4 mm (0.016 inch)

CRANKSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE

(PLASTIGAGE METHOD)

Oil clearance can be easily measured by using a "plastigage."
When using a "plastigage," perform measurement in the follow-
ing procedure.
1. Fully wipe oil off the outside diameter of the crankshaft and

inside diameter of the bearing.

2. Assemble the crankshaft.
3. Place a plastigage in length equal to the bearing width on

the journal shaft straight in alignment with the shaft center.

4. Carefully install the bearing cap and tighten the bolt

according to the main point of installation >>B<<.

5. Remove the bolt, and then carefully remove the crankshaft

bearing cap.

6. Measure the crushed plastigage width (area most widely

crushed) using a scale printed on the plastigage bag.

Standard value: 0.012

− 0.030 mm (0.0005 − 0.0012

inch)
Limit: 0.08 mm (0.0031 inch)

CRANKSHAFT AND CYLINDER BLOCK

CYLINDER BLOCK

1. Visually check the cylinder block for scratch, rust and

corrosion. Use a flaw detecting agent to check for cracks. If
it is found faulty, repair or replace it.

2. Measure distortion on the top surface of the cylinder block

using a straight edge and free gauge.
If distortion exceeds the limit, grind and repair it.
A gasket or the like must not be adhered to the top surface
of the cylinder block during measurement.

Distortion on bottom

Limit: Within 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch)
Grinding limit: 0.2 mm (0.008 inch)

3. Check the cylinder wall for scratch or seizure. If there is any

defect, replace the cylinder block.

4. Measure the bore and cylindricity of the cylinder using a

cylinder gauge.
If the cylinder is excessively worn, repair the cylinder and
replace the piston and piston rings.
Measuring points are as shown in the illustration.

Standard value

Cylinder bore: 88 mm (3.46 inch)
Cylindricity: 0.0076 mm (0.0003 inch)
