Use Undersize Bearing Usage Guide

  1. When the specified main bearing oil clearance is not obtained with standard size main bearings, use underside (US) bearing.
  2. When using undersize (US) bearing, measure the main bearing inner diameter with bearing installed, and grind main journal so that the main bearing oil clearance satisfies the standard. CAUTION: In grinding crankshaft main journal to use undersize bearings, keep the fillet R [1.5 mm (0.059 in)].

Scheme 197

Scheme 197: CRANKSHAFT END PLAY
  1. Measure the clearance between thrust bearings and crankshaft arm when crankshaft is moved fully forward or backward with dial indicator. Standard : 0.10 - 0.25 mm (0.0039 - 0.0098 in) Limit : 0.30 mm (0.0118 in)
  2. If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace thrust bearings, and measure again. If it still exceeds the limit, replace crankshaft also.

Scheme 198

Scheme 198: CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE
  1. Measure the side clearance between connecting rod and crankshaft arm with feeler gauge. Standard : 0.20 - 0.35 mm (0.0079 - 0.0138 in) Limit : 0.40 mm (0.0157 in)
  2. If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace connecting rod, and measure again. If it still exceeds the limit, replace crankshaft also.
