(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 assembiies in 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:
0.020 - 0.220 mm (0.0008 - 0.0087 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:
2.440 - 2.490 mm (0.0981 - 0.0980 in.)






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






(b) Using a screwdriver, pry up the main bearing cap, and remove the main bearing cap, lower main bearings and lower thrust washers (No.2 journal position of main bearing cap only).

HINT: Keep the lower main bearings and lower thrust washers together with the main bearing cap.

(c) Lift out the crankshaft.

HINT: Keep the upper main bearings and upper thrust washers together with the cylinder block.
