Installation

1. Connecting Rod Bearing Clearance Inspection


1.

Clean the connecting rod journal and the bearing half with a clean shop towel.


2.

Place plastigage across the rod journal.


3.

Reinstall the bearing half and the cap, then torque the bolts to 20 N·m (2.0 kgf·m, 15 lbf·ft) +90 °.


NOTE:

Apply new engine oil to the bolt threads and flanges.

Do not rotate the crankshaft during inspection.


4.

Remove the connecting rod cap and the bearing half, and measure the widest part of the plastigage.


Connecting Rod Bearing-to-Journal Oil Clearance

Standard (New):

0.024 - 0.042 mm (0.00094 -0.00165 in)

Service Limit:

0.055 mm (0.00217 in)


5.

If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow, remove the cap, and the upper half of the bearing. Install a new, complete bearing with the appropriate color code(s), and recheck the clearance. Do not file, shim, or scrape the bearings or the caps to adjust clearance.


6.

If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color listed above or below the current one), and check the clearance again. If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings, replace the crankshaft and start over.


2. Connecting Rod Bearing Selection

1.

Inspect each connecting rod for cracks and heat damage.


redandrunisind


2.

Each connecting rod has a tolerance range from 0 to 0.024 mm (0.00094 in), in 0.006 mm (0.00024 in) increments, depending on the size of its big end bore. It's then stamped with a number or bar (1, 2, 3, or 4/l, ll, lll, or llll) indicating the range. You may find any combination of numbers and bars in any engine. (Half the number or bar is stamped on the rod cap, the other half is on the connecting rod.) If you cannot read the code because of an accumulation of oil and varnish, do not scrub it with a wire brush or scraper. Clean it only with solvent or detergent.


Big End Bore Size:

48.0 mm (1.890 in)


(pulley

3.

The connecting rod journal codes are stamped on the crankshaft in either location.


a.ndendam,amznvllred/pink/pinkvellawpink/emwnbrawnsmnllevmd

4.
