Inspection
1.
Check the crankshaft main bearing oil clearance.
(1)
To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance, remove the bearing caps with their lower bearings.
(2)
Clean each main journal and lower bearing with a clean shop towel.
(3)
Place one strip of plastigage across each main journal.
(4)
Reinstall the bearing caps with their lower bearings, then tighten the bolts.
Tightening torque :
[17.7 - 21.6 N.m (1.8 - 2.2 kgf.m, 13.0 - 15.9 lb-ft)] + [88° - 92°]
  
•
Do not reuse the crankshaft main bearing cap.
•
Do not turn the crankshaft.
(5)
Remove the bearing caps with their lower bearing again, and measure the widest part of the plastigage.
Bearing oil clearance :
No.1, 2, 3, 4, 5 : 0.020 - 0.041 mm (0.0007 - 0.0016 in)

(6)
If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow, remove the upper and lower bearing and then install a new bearings with the same color mark. Recheck the oil 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. Recheck the oil clearance.
  
•
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.
Cylinder block crankshaft journal bore mark location
Letters have been stamped on the side surface of the block as a mark for the size of each of the 5 main journal bores.
Use them, and the numbers or letters stamped on the crank (marks for main journal size), to choose the correct bearings.

Reassembly
  
•
Thoroughly clean all parts to 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.
1.
Install the crankshaft 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 five upper bearings(A).
(2)
Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the main bearing cap (B), and push in the 5 lower bearings (A).

(3)
Apply a coat of engine oil after assembling the main bearings.
2.
Install the thrust bearing.
Install the thrust bearing (A) on the No.3 journal position of the cylinder block with the oil grooves facing outward.
3.
Place the crankshaft on the cylinder block.
  
•
When exchanging the crack shaft and short engine, apply if the pilot bearing is not assembled.
•
When press fitting the pilot bearing, press fit so that the load is applied only to the outer race of the pilot bearing.
–
If load is applied to the seal and inner race, the component or bearing inside may be damaged.
•
Press-fit depth of the pilot bearing: 1.5 - 2.0mm (0.0591 - 0.0787 in) from the end of the crank auto bore.
4.
Install the main bearing caps and tighten the cap bolts.
  
•
Do not reuse the main bearing cap bolt.
•
Fasten the main bearing cap bolt in two stages.
•
Replace the main bearing cap bolt if it is damaged or deformed.
•
Mount the main bearing cap bolt according to the accurate order.
(1)
Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the bearing cap bolts.
(2)
Install and uniformly tighten the 10 bearing cap bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
Tightening torque :
[17.7 - 21.6 N.m (1.8 - 2.2 kgf.m, 13.0 - 15.9 lb-ft)] + [88 - 92° ]
Using the SST (09221-4A000), tighten the main bearing cap bolts (A).
(3)
Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
5.
Check the crankshaft end play.
6.
Install the piston and connecting rod assemblies.
(Refer to Cylinder Block - "Piston and Connecting Rod")
7.
Install the ladder frame.
(Refer to Cylinder Block - "Ladder Frame")
8.
Install 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 Assembly - "Piston and Connecting Rod")
