Method by Calculation
- Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and cap, and tighten connecting rod bolts to the specified torque. Refer to [ENGINE UNIT: DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY ] for tightening procedure.
- Measure the inner diameter of connecting rod bearing with an inside micrometer.
(Bearing oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bearing inner diameter) - (Crankshaft pin journal diameter)
Standard: 0.035 - 0.045 mm (0.0014 - 0.0018 in)
- If the clearance exceeds the limit, select proper connecting rod bearing according to connecting rod big end diameter and crankshaft pin journal diameter to obtain the specified bearing oil clearance. Refer to [HOW TO SELECT PISTON AND BEARING ].
