INSPECTION
3) To check the connecting rod fitted to the piston
for bend, put the connecting rod and piston
on the surface plate as shown in the
illustration, insert a round bar having a
diameter equal to that of the crankpin into the
bore in the big end of the rod and measure “A”
and “B” with a dial indicator. Subtract “A” from
“B” to find the bend (“C”).
19.3 Crankshaft
1. Clearance between crankpin and connecting rod
bearing
1) Install the bearing (upper and lower halves)
and cap to the big end of the connecting rod
and tighten the cap nuts to the specified
torque. Measure the bore in the bearing for
crankpin as shown in the illustration.
2) Measure the diameter of the crankpin as
shown in the illustration to find the clearance
between the crankpin and connecting rod
bearing.
.Unit: mm (in.)
3) If the clearance exceeds the limit, install a new
bearing and check the clearance again.
4) If the clearance still exceeds the limit, grind
the crankpin to 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.), 0.50 mm
(0.0197 in.) or 0.75 mm (0.0295 in.) undersize
and use undersize connecting rod bearing.
