Connecting Rod Alignment
1. Remove the crankpin bearing, and install the connecting rod
cap.
2. Install the piston pin in the connecting rod.
3. Install the connecting rod on the connecting rod alignment tool.
4. Put a gauge over the piston pin, and move it against the face
plate.
5. If the gauge does not fit squarely against the face plate,
measure the space between the pin of the gauge and the face
plate.
6. If the measurement exceeds the allowable limit, replace the
connecting rod.

(4) Crankshaft
Crankshaft Side Clearance
1. Set a dial indicator with its tip on the end of the crankshaft.
2. Measure the side clearance by moving the crankshaft to the
front and rear.
3. If the measurement exceeds the allowable limit, replace the
thrust bearings.
4. If the same size bearing is useless because of the crankshaft
journal wear, replace it with an oversize one referring to the
table and figure.

Crankshaft Alignment
1. Support the crankshaft with V blocks on the surface plate at
both end journals.
2. Set a dial indicator with its tip on the intermediate journal.
3. Measure the crankshaft alignment.
4. If the measurement exceeds the allowable limit, replace the
crankshaft.
