1D-55 Power Unit Mechanical:
4) Install conrod cap (with bearing) to conrod with the
embossed mark on cap toward flywheel side.
5) Apply engine oil to conrod bolts.
Tighten conrod cap bolts in three steps as follows.
a) Lightly seat all conrod bolts at first, then tighten
bolts 12 N⋅m (1.2 kgf-m, 8.7 lbf-ft) of specified
torque.
Tightening torque
Conrod cap bolt (1st step): 12 N·m (1.2 kgf-
m, 8.7 lbf-ft)
b) Tighten bolts 17 N⋅m (1.7 kgf-m, 12.3 lbf-ft) of
specified torque.
Tightening torque
Conrod cap bolt (2nd step) (a): 17 N·m (1.7
kgf-m, 12.3 lbf-ft)
c) Finally tighten bolts 60 degrees turn from the
point of step b) using an angular torque gauge.
Tightening torque
Conrod cap bolt (Final step): 60 degrees (47
N⋅m, 4.7 kgf-m, 34 lbf-ft)
NOTE
Purchase a commercially available angular
torque gauge for this step of tightening bolts.
NOTE
Do not rotate conrod with plastigauge in
place.
6) Remove conrod and conrod cap from crank pin.
7) Using scale on plastigauge envelope, measure
plastigauge width at its widest point.
If measurement exceeds service limit, replace
conrod bearing.
Conrod big end oil clearance
Standard: 0.032 – 0.050 mm (0.0013 – 0.0020 in.)
Service limit: 0.080 mm (0.0031 in.)
NOTE
For bearing replacement, see the “Selection
of Conrod Bearing” (Page 1D-56).
