Scheme 240

Scheme 240
  1. Inspect belts for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. If necessary, replace.
  2. Inspect drive belt deflection or tension at a point on belt midway between pulleys. Inspection should be done only when the engine is cold, or over 30 minutes after engine is stopped. Measure the belt tension with belt tension gauge (commercial service tool: BT3373-F or equivalent) at points marked shown in the figure. When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the marked point. Adjust if the belt deflection exceeds the limit or if the belt tension is not within specifications.
CAUTIONWhen checking the belt deflection or the tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning the crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys. Tighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure the deflection or the tension without looseness.

Scheme 331

Scheme 331: CRUSH HEIGHT OF MAIN BEARING
  1. When main bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to «ASSEMBLY»(ref-233993-S32883286472006052800000) for the tightening procedure. Standard: There must be crush height.
  2. If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.

Scheme 332: CRUSH HEIGHT OF CONNECTING ROD BEARING
  1. When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings installed, the tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to «ASSEMBLY»(ref-233993-S32883286472006052800000) for the tightening procedure. Standard: There must be crush height.
  2. If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.

Scheme 333

Scheme 333: MAIN BEARING CAP BOLT OUTER DIAMETER
  1. Measure the outer diameters ("d1", "d2") at two positions as shown in the figure.
  2. If reduction appears in "A" range, regard it as "d2". Limit ("d1" - "d2"): 0.11 mm (0.0051 in)
  3. If it exceeds the limit (large difference in dimensions), replace main bearing cap bolt with new one.

  1. Check drive plate and signal plate for deformation or cracks. CAUTION: Do not disassemble drive plate. Do not place drive plate with signal plate facing down. When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or scratch it. Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from becoming magnetized.
  2. If anything is found, replace drive plate.
