Crankpin and Bearing Clearance Inspection (with micrometer)
- Using a micrometer, measure the crankpin diameter.
Crankpin diameter:
Standard (New):
45.930 – 45.945 mm
(1.8083 – 1.8089 in.)
Service limit:
45.926 mm (1.8081 in.)
- Install the bearing cap and tighten it to the two steps specified torque.
1st step torque:
25 Nm (2.5 kgf/m, 18 lbf/ft)
2nd step:
100°
- Measure the crankpin bearing inside diameter.
- If the clearance between the measured bearing inside diameter and the crankpin exceeds the specified limit, the bearing and/or the crankshaft must be replaced.
Crankpin and bearing clearance:
Standard (New):
0.025 – 0.058 mm
(0.0010 – 0.0023 in.)
Service limit:
0.1 mm (0.004 in.)
NOTE: Measure crankshaft thrust play, before removing crankshaft bearing cap.
- Remove the crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing pulley.
- Remove the oil pan upper and lower.
- Remove the oil pump.
- Remove the oil strainer and the baffle plate.
- Remove connecting rod bearing cap nut (A) from connecting rod.
