CYLINDER BLOCK ASSY
OVERHAUL
25. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE
a. Clean each main journal and bearing.





b. Install the upper bearing with the oil groove onto the cylinder block, and the lower bearing onto the bearing cap.

NOTICE: Do not apply engine oil to the contact surfaces of the cylinder block or the back side of the bearing.

HINT: The mass production parts do not have claws as marks. If reusing the mass production parts, measure the clearance of both sides with the bearing in the center of the bearing cap.

Specified clearance:
A - B = within 0.8 mm (0.032 inch)
C - D = within 0.4 mm (0.016 inch)
c. Install the crankshaft onto the cylinder block.





d. Lay a strip of Plastigage across each journal.





e. Check the front marks and numbers and install the bearing caps onto the cylinder block.
f. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads of the bearing cap bolts.





g. Using SST, tighten the bolts in several steps by the specified torque in the sequence shown in the illustration.
SST 09011-38121
Torque: 22 Nm (224 kgf-cm, 16 ft. lbs.)

NOTICE: Do not turn the crankshaft.





h. Mark the front of the bearing cap bolts with paint.
i. Retighten the bearing cap bolts by 90° in the same sequence as step (g).
j. Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle to the front.

NOTICE: Do not turn the crankshaft.

k. Remove the bearing cap subassembly.





l. Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.
Standard oil clearance: 0.01 to 0.023 mm (0.0004 to 0.0009 inch)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.07 mm (0.0028 inch)

NOTICE: Completely remove the Plastigage.





HINT:
^ If the width is greater than maximum, select and replace the bearing. If necessary, use the undersize bearing.
^ To select the correct bearing size, calculate the bearing number by adding together the numbers imprinted on the cylinder block and crank journal.
^ Example:
Imprinted number on the cylinder block is 3.
Imprinted number on the crank journal is 5.
3 + 5 = 8








Select the bearing with the bearing number 3

NOTICE:
^ Install the water drain cock within 3 minutes of applying adhesive.
^ Do not put in coolant for at least 1 hour after installation.
^ Do not rotate the drain union more than 360° in step (b), and never loosen it after setting the union correctly.
^ The pipe of the drain cock should be within 40° of the vertical.

28. INSTALL CYLINDER HEAD SET STRAIGHT PIN
a. Using a plastic-faced hammer, tap in the straight pin.
Standard protrusion: 8.5 to 9.5 mm (0.335 to 0.374 inch)
29. INSTALL STRAIGHT PIN





a. Using a plastic-faced hammer, tap in the straight pin.
Standard protrusion:
Pin A 3.5 to 4.5 mm (0.138 to 0.177 inch)
Pin B 18.5 to 19.5 mm (0.728 to 0.768 inch)
Pin C 8.5 to 9.5 mm (0.335 to 0.374 inch)
Pin D 11.5 to 12.5 mm (0.453 to 0.492 inch)
30. INSTALL STUD BOLT





a. Using Torx socket wrench E5, install the 6 stud bolts.
Torque: 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 inch lbs.)





31. INSTALL CRANKSHAFT
a. Install the upper bearing with the oil groove onto the cylinder block, and the lower bearing onto the bearing cap.

NOTICE: Do not apply engine oil to the contact surface of the cylinder block or the backside of the bearing.

HINT: Mass production parts do not have claws as marks. If reusing the mass production parts, measure the clearance of both sides with the bearing in the center of the bearing cap.

Specified clearance:
A - B = within 0.8 mm (0.032 inch)
C - D = within 0.4 mm (0.016 inch)





b. Install the 2 thrust washers onto the No.3 journal position of the cylinder block with the oil grooves facing outward.
c. Apply engine oil to the upper bearing and install the crankshaft onto the cylinder block.





d. Check the front marks and numbers and install the bearing caps onto the cylinder block.
e. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads of the bearing cap bolts.





f. Using SST, tighten the bolts in several steps by the specified torque in the sequence shown in the illustration.
SST 09011-38121
Torque: 22 Nm (224 kgf-cm, 16 ft. lbs.)

NOTICE: Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.





g. Mark the front of the bearing cap bolts with paint.
h. Retighten the bearing cap bolts by 90° in the same sequence as step (g).
i. Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle to the front.
