(Clearance) = (Inner diameter of cylinder) (Outer diameter of piston skirt). Standard Limit : 0.010 - 0.030 mm (0.0004 - 0.0012 in) : 0.08 mm (0.0031 in)

CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT
Place a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals on both ends of the crankshaft. Place a dial gauge straight up on the No. 3 journal. While rotating the crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer on the dial gauge, the total indicator reading. Limit : 0.05 mm (0.002 in)
PBIC0271E
If clearance cannot be adjusted within the standard, grind crankshaft pin and use undersized bearing. Refer to EM-78, "HOW TO SELECT A CONNECTING ROD BEARING" .
If the measured value exceeds the limit, select main bearings referring to the main bearing inner diameter and crankshaft journal outer diameter, so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard. Refer to EM-80, "HOW TO SELECT A MAIN BEARING" .

Method of Using Plastigage
Remove oil and dust on the crankshaft journal and the surfaces of each bearing completely. Cut the Plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes. Tighten the main bearing bolts to the specified torque. CAUTION: Never rotate the crankshaft. Remove the bearing cap and bearings, and using the scale on the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width. NOTE: The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is same as that described in the "Method by Calculation".

MOVEMENT AMOUNT OF FLYWHEEL (M/T MODEL)
NOTE: Inspection for double mass flywheel only. Do not disassemble double mass flywheel.
Flywheel Deflection
Measure deflection of flywheel contact surface to the clutch with a dial gauge. Measure deflection at 210 mm (8.27 in) dia. Standard Limit : 0.45 mm (0.0177 in) or less : 1.3 mm (0.051 in) or less
When measured value exceeds the limit, replace the flywheel with a new one.
