(4) Checking the side gap of a crankshaft
After assembling the crankshaft, tighten the main
bearing cap to the specified toque, and move the
crankshaft to one side, placing a dial gauge on one end
of the shaft to measure thrust clearance.
Replace the thrust bearing if it is worn beyond the limit.
Other measurement method can also be effective.
Insert the thickness gauge directly into the clearance
between the thrust metal and crankshaft thrust face.
5.5.2 Main bearing
(1) Inspecting the main bearing
Check for flaking, seizure or burning of the contact
surface and replace if necessary.
(2) Measuring the inner diameter of metal
Tighten the cap to the specified torque and measure the
inner diameter of the metal.
NOTE:
When assembling the bearing cap, keep the following
in mind.
1) The lower metal (cap side) has no oil groove.
2) The upper metal (block side) has an oil groove.
3) Check the cylinder block alignment number.
4) The “FW” on the cap lies on the flywheel side.
