14.	Remove the baffle plate (A).

15.	Check the connecting rod end play. (Refer to Cylinder Block - "Piston and Connecting Rod")

16.	Check the connecting rod cap oil clearance. (Refer to Cylinder Block - "Piston and Connecting Rod")

17.	Remove the piston and connecting rod assemblies. (Refer to Cylinder Block - "Piston and Connecting Rod")

18.	Remove the crankshaft main bearing cap and check oil clearance.

19.	Check the crankshaft end play.

20.

Remove the crankshaft. Lift the crankshaft (A) out of engine, being careful not to damage journals.

Arrange the main bearings and thrust bearings in the correct order.

Inspection

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 towel.

(3)	Place one strip of plastigage across each main journal.

(4)

Reinstall the bearings and caps, then torque the bolts.

Tightening torque:

No.1~8 : 49.0 N.m (5.0 kgf.m, 36.2 lb-ft) + 90°

No.9~16 : 19.6 N.m (2.0 kgf.m, 14.5 lb-ft)+ 120°

No.17~24 : 29.4 ~ 31.4 N.m (3.0 ~ 3.2 kgf.m, 21.7 ~ 23.1 lb-ft)

•	Always use new crankshaft main bearing cap bolts. Crankshaft main bearing cap bolts are toque-to-yield bolts designed to be permanently elongated beyond the state of elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail to maintain clamping force.

•	Do not turn the crankshaft.

(5)

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

Standard oil clearance:

0.022 ~ 0.040 mm (0.0009 ~ 0.0016 in.)

(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 size of each of the 4 main journal bores.

Use them, and the numbers or bar stamped on the crank (marks for main journal size), to choose the correct bearings.

Discrimination Of Cylinder Block

Class	Mark	Inside Diameter
a	A	73.500 ~ 73.506mm (2.8937 ~ 2.8939in.)
b	B	73.506 ~ 73.512mm (2.8939 ~ 2.8942in.)
c	C	73.512 ~ 73.518mm (2.8942 ~ 2.8944in.)

Crankshaft Journal Mark Location

Check crankshaft end play.

Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver.

Standard end play :

0.10 ~ 0.28 mm (0.0039 ~ 0.0110 in.)

If the end play is greater than maximum, replace the thrust bearings as a set.

Thrust bearing thickness :

2.41 ~ 2.45 mm (0.0949 ~ 0.0964 in.)

Inspect main journals and crank pins

Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of each main journal and crank pin.

Main journal diameter :

68.942 ~ 68.960 mm (2.7142 ~ 2.7149 in.)

Crank pin diameter :

54.954 ~ 54.972 mm (2.1635 ~ 2.1642 in.)

Reassembly

•	Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.

•	Before installing the parts, apply fresh engine oil to all sliding and rotating surfaces.

•	Replace all gaskets, O-rings and oil seals with new parts.

Install the main bearings.

Upper bearings have an oil groove of oil holes; Lower bearings do not.

(1)	Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the cylinder block, push in the 4 upper bearings(A).

(2)	Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the main bearing cap, and push in the 4 lower bearings.

2.	Install the thrust bearings. Install the 2 thrust bearings(A) under the No.3 journal position of the cylinder block with the oil grooves facing outward.

3.	Place the crankshaft(A) on the cylinder block.

4.	Place the main bearing caps on cylinder block.

Install the main bearing cap bolts.

(1)

Install and uniformly tighten the bearing cap bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.

Tightening torque

Main bearing cap bolt

No.1~8 : 49.0 N.m (5.0 kgf.m, 36.2 lb-ft) + 90°

No.9~16 : 19.6 N.m (2.0 kgf.m, 14.5 lb-ft) + 120°

No.17~24 : 29.4 ~ 31.4 N.m (3.0 ~ 3.2 kgf.m, 21.7 ~ 23.1 lb-ft)

•	Always use new crankshaft main bearing cap bolts. Crankshaft main bearing cap bolts are toque-to-yield bolts designed to be permanently elongated beyond the state of elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail to maintain clamping force.

•	If any of the bearing cap bolts are broken or deformed, replace it.

Use the SST( 09221-4A000 ), install main bearing cap bolts.

(2)	Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.

6.	Check crankshaft end play.

7.	Install the piston and connecting rod assemblies. (Refer to Cylinder Block - "Piston and Connecting Rod")

Install the baffle plate.

Install and uniformly tighten the baffle plate bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.

Tightening torque:

9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)

Assemble the other parts in the reverse order of disassembly.

In case the crankshaft is replaced with a new one, select the proper connecting rod bearing according to the pin journal mark on the crankshaft.

•	Connecting rod bearing selection (Refer to Cylinder Block - "Piston and Connecting Rod")
