Eccentric Shaft End Play Inspection

ECCENTRIC SHAFT END PLAY INSPECTION





1. Lock the flywheel (MT) or counterweight (AT) against rotation using the SST.
2. Assemble the parts in the following order:
1) Spacer
2) Needle bearing
3) Thrust plate
4) Balance weight
5) Oil pump drive gear
6) Metering oil pump drive gear (Type A)





Caution
^ When assembling the spacer, do not allow the spacer to be caught in the needle bearing in the plate.





3. Assemble the eccentric shaft pulley, eccentric shaft position plate, pulley boss component apply engine oil to the pulley lockbolt threads, and then tighten.

Tightening torque
300-340 N-m (30.6-34.6 kgf-m, 222-250 ft-lbf)

4. Remove the SST.





5. Measure the end play of the eccentric shaft using a dial gauge.
^ If not within the specification, replace the spacer with one that is thicker than the currently assembled one. If it exceeds the specification, replace with a thinner spacer.

Standard end play
0.04-0.09 mm (0.0016-0.0035 in)

Spacer types





Note
^ If the end play is not within the specification even after replacing with an A-marked spacer, adjust by grinding it and reuse.
