  6. Inspect the bushing at connecting rod small end, and replace with a new part if worn or damaged.
  7. Measure the piston pin clearance at connecting rod small end. If the measured value is not within the standard, replace it with a new part. Clearance between piston pin and bushing: Standard 0 - 0.022 mm (0 - 0.0009 in)
  8. The replacement procedure for the connecting rod small end bushing is as follows.

  1. Remove the bushing from connecting rod with ST and press.
  2. Press the bushing with the ST after applying oil on the periphery of new bushing. ST 499037100 CONNECTING ROD BUSHING REMOVER AND INSTALLER
  3. Make two 3 mm (0.12 in) holes in the pressed bushing by aligning with the pre-manufactured holes on the connecting rod, and ream the inside of the bushing.
  4. After completion of reaming, clean the bushing to remove chips.

  1. Clean the crankshaft completely, and check it for cracks using liquid penetrant tester. If defective, replace the crankshaft.
  2. Measure warping of the crankshaft. If it exceeds the limit, correct or replace it. NOTE: If a suitable V-block is not available, using just the #1 and #5 crankshaft bearings on cylinder block, position the crankshaft on cylinder block. Then, measure the crankshaft bend using a dial gauge. Crankshaft bend limit: 0.035 mm (0.0014 in)
  3. Inspect the crank journal and crank pin for wear. If they are not within the specification, replace the bearing with a suitable (undersize) one, and replace or grind to correct the crankshaft as necessary. When grinding the crank journal or crank pin, finish them to the specified dimensions according to the undersize bearing to be used. Crank pin: Out-of-roundness 0.003 mm (0.0001 in) Cylindricality 0.004 mm (0.0002 in) Grinding limit (dia.)

  4. Use a thickness gauge to measure the thrust clearance of the crankshaft at the #5 crank journal bearing. If clearance exceeds the standard, replace the bearing. Crankshaft thrust clearance: Standard 0.030 - 0.115 mm (0.0012 - 0.0045 in)
  5. Inspect individual crankshaft bearings for signs of flaking, seizure, melting and wear.
  6. Measure the oil clearance on each crankshaft bearing using plastigauge. If the measured value is out of standard, replace the defective bearing with an undersize one, and replace or grind to correct the crankshaft as necessary.
