Standard oil clearance: 0.027 - 0.053 mm (0.0011 - 0.0021 in.) Maximum oil clearance: 0.065 mm (0.0026 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the bearings. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
HINT: If using a standard bearing, replace it with the one having the same number. If the number of the bearing cannot be determined, sum up the numbers imprinted on the connecting rod cap and the crankshaft, then select the one with the same number as the total. There are 6 sizes of standard bearings, marked "2", "3", "4", "5", "6" and "7".
EXAMPLE: Connecting rod cap "3" + Crankshaft "1" = Total number 4 (Use bearing "4")

Crankshaft crank pin diameter:
Standard sized bearing center wall thickness:
(j) Completely remove the plastigage.
21. REMOVE PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD ASSEMBLIES

HINT:
22. CHECK CRANKSHAFT THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver.
Standard thrust clearance: 0.020 - 0.220 mm (0.0008 - 0.0087 in.) Maximum thrust clearance: 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the thrust washers as a set.

(h) Install the main bearing caps.
( EM-107 )
NOTICE: Do not turn the crankshaft.
(i) Remove the main bearing caps.
(See procedure (a) and (b) above)

Standard clearance: 0.040 - 0.058 mm (0.0016 - 0.0023 in.) Maximum clearance: 0.070 mm (0.0028 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the bearings. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
HINT: If using a standard bearing, replace it with the one having the same number. If the number of the bearing cannot be determined, sum up the numbers imprinted on the cylinder block and the crankshaft, then refer to the table below for the appropriate bearing number. There are 5 sizes of the standard bearings. For No.1 and No.5 position bearings, use bearings marked "3", "4", "5", "6" and "7". For others position bearings, use bearings marked "1", "2", "3", "4" and "5".
No.1, No.5:
EXAMPLE: Cylinder block "08" + Crankshaft "06" = Total number 14 (Use bearing "5")
Others:
EXAMPLE: Cylinder block "08" + Crankshaft "06" = Total number 14 (Use bearing "3")
