Reference:
Standard bearing center wall thickness:
1.484 - 1.4B7 (0.0584 - 0.05B5)
1.487 - 1.490 (0.0585 - 0.0587)
1.490 - 1.493 (0.0587 - 0.0588)
1.493 - 1.496 (0.0588 - 0.0589)


j. Completely remove the Plastigage.





23. 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.





24. 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 inch)
Maximum thrust clearance: 0.30 mm (0.0118 inch)


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 inch)





25. 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.





NOTICE: Pull up the main bearing cap little by little to the right and the left by turns and pay attention not to damage the joint surface of the cylinder block and the main bearing cap.

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

Maximum clearance:
No.1 and No.4 journals: 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch)
No.2 and No.3 journals: 0.06 mm (0.0024 inch)


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 for the appropriate bearing number.








The No.1 and No.4 journal bearings have 5 standard bearing sizes, marked "3", "4", "5", "6" and "7" accordingly.








The No.2 and No.3 journal bearings have 5 standard bearing sizes, marked "1'', "2", "3", "4" and "5" accordingly.
l. Completely remove the Plastigage.
26. Remove crankshaft.

c. Using a plastic-faced hammer and brass bar, lightly tap out the piston pin and remove the connecting rod.

HINT:
- The piston and pin are a matched set.
- Arrange the pistons, pins, rings, connecting rods and bearings in the correct order.
