CYLINDER BLOCK DISASSEMBLY
1. REMOVE REAR OIL SEAL RETAINER
(a) Remove the 6 bolts.
(b) Using a screwdriver, remove the oil seal retainer by prying the portions between the oil seal retainer and main bearing cap.






2. CHECK CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while moving the connecting rod back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance: 0.15 - 0.30 mm (0.0059 - 0.0118 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance: 0.35 mm (0.0138 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace the connecting rod assembly(s). If necessary. replace the crankshaft.
Connecting rod thickness: 20.80-20.85mm (0.8189 - 0.8209 in.)






3. REMOVE CONNECTING ROD CAPS AND CHECK OIL CLEARANCE
(a) Check the matchmarks on the connecting rod and cap are aligned to ensure correct reassembly.
(b) Remove the 2 connecting rod cap bolts.






(c) Using the 2 removed connecting rod cap bolts, remove the connecting rod cap and lower bearing by wiggling the connecting rod cap right and left.

HINT: Keep the lower bearing inserted with the connecting rod cap.

(d) Clean the crank pin and bearing.
(e) Check the crank pin and bearing for pitting and scratches.
If the crank pin or bearing is damaged, replace the bearings. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.






(f) Lay a strip of Plastigage across the crank pin.






(g) Install the connecting rod cap with the 2 bolts. (See step 7 in cylinder block assembly)
Torque:
1st 24.5 N.m (250 kgf.cm, 18 ft.lbf)
2nd Turn 90°

NOTICE: Do not turn the crankshaft.






(h) Remove the 2 bolts, connecting rod cap and lower bearing. (See procedure (b) and (c) above)
(I) Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.
Standard oil clearance: 0.038 - 0.064 mm (0.0015 - 0.0025 in.)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the bearings. If necessary, grind or replace the crankshaft.






HINT: If replacing a bearing, replace it with one having the same number as marked on the connecting rod. There are 4 sizes of standard bearings, marked "1", "2", "3" and "4" accordingly.






Reference: Standard bearing center wall thickness
(j) Completely remove the Plastigage.






4. REMOVE PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD ASSEMBLIES
(a) Using a ridge reamer. remove all the carbon from the top of the cylinder.
(b) Push the piston, connecting rod assembly and upper bearing through the top of the cylinder block.

HINT:

- Keep the bearings, connecting rod and cap together.






- Arrange the piston and connecting rod assemblies in the correct order.
5. CHECK CRANKSHAFT THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver.
Standard thrust clearance: 0.04 - 0.24 mm (0.0016 - 0.0095 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance: 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace the thrust washers as a set.
Thrust washer thickness: 1.930 - 1.980 mm (0.0760 - 0.0780 in.)






6. REMOVE MAIN BEARING CAPS AND CHECK OIL CLEARANCE
(a) Uniformly loosen and remove the 8 main bearing cap bolts and seal washers, in the several passes. in the sequence shown.






(b) Uniformly loosen and remove the 16 main bearing cap bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.







(c) Using a screwdriver, pry out main bearing caps.
Remove the 4 main bearing caps, lower bearings and
(No.2 main bearing cap only) 2 lower thrust washers.

HINT:
- Keep the lower bearing and main bearing cap together.
- Arrange the main bearing caps and lower thrust washers in correct order.

(d) Lift out the crankshaft.

HINT: Keep the upper bearings together with the cylinder block.

(e) Clean each main journal and bearing.
(f) Check each main journal and bearing for pitting and scratches.
If the journal or bearing is damaged, replace the bearings. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.

Hexagon head bolt: 27 N.m (275 kgf.cm, 20 ft.lbf)

NOTICE: Do not turn the crankshaft.

(j) Remove the main bearing caps.
(See procedures (a) to (c) above)






(k) Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.
Standard oil clearance: 0.026 - 0.046 mm (0.0010 - 0.0018 in.)
Maximum clearance: 0.06 mm (0.0024 in.)






If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the bearings. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.

HINT: If using a bearing, replace it with one having the same number. If the number of the bearing cannot be determined, select the correct bearing by adding together the numbers imprinted on the cylinder block and crankshaft, then refer to the table below for the appropriate bearing number. There are 5 standard bearing sizes. marked "1", "2", "3", "4"and "5" accordingly.






EXAMPLE: Cylinder block "06"(A) + Crankshaft "08" (B) = Total number 14 (Use bearing "3")
