Repair procedures
| •
| Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces. |
| •
| To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion. |
|
| •
| Mark all wiring connector and hoses to avoid misconnection. |
| •
| To release the fuel system pressure before removing the engine assembly, start the engine without fuel pump relay. Then, switch "OFF" the ignition when engine stops. |
| •
| Turn the crankshaft pulley so that the No. 1 piston is at top dead center. |
|
| 1. | Remove the piston and connecting rod assembly. (Refer to Cylinder Block - "Piston and Connecting Rod") |
| 2. | Remove the air conditioning compressor. (Refer to Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning - "Compressor") |
| 3. | Remove the rear caps (A). 
|
| 4. | Remove the lower crankcase. | (1) | Remove the lower crankcase mounting bolts (A). 
|
| (2) | Remove the crankshaft bearing cap bolts (B). 
|
| (3) | Remove the lower crankcase (A). 
|
|
| 5. | Remove the crankshaft position sensor wheel (A). 
|
| 6. | Lift the crankshaft (A) out of the engine block, being careful not to damage journals. 
|
| 1. | Check the crankshaft bearing oil clearance. | (1) | Clean each main journal and lower bearing with a clean shop towel. |
| (2) | Place one strip of plastcigauge across each main journal. |
| (3) | Reinstall the bearing caps with their lower bearings, then tighten the bolts. Tightening torque : Crank lower case mounting bolts : 18.6 - 23.5 N.m (1.9 - 2.4 kgf.m, 13.7 - 17.4 lb-ft) Bearing cap mounting bolts : 27.5 - 31.4 N.m (2.8 - 3.2 kgf.m, 20.3 - 23.1 lb-ft) + 118 - 122° |

| •
| Do not turn the crankshaft. |
|
|
| (4) | Remove the lower crankcase, and measure the widest part of the plasticgauge. Bearing oil clearance : 0.030 - 0.048 mm (0.0012 - 0.0019 in.) |
|
| (5) | If the plasticgauge measures too wide or too narrow, remove the upper and lower bearing and then install a new bearings with the same color mark (select the color as shown in the next column). Recheck the oil clearance. | •
| Do not file, shim, of scrape the bearings or the caps to adjust clearance. |
|
|
| (6) | If the plasticgauge shows that the clearance is still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color listed above or below that one), and check clearance again. | •
| If the plasticgauge shows that the clearance is still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color listed above or below that one), and check clearance again. |
| •
| If the marks are indecipherable because of an accumulation of dirt and dust, do not scrub them with a wire brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent or detergent. |
|
Cylinder Block Crankshaft Journal Bore Mark Location Letters have been stamped on the side surface of the block as a mark for the size of each of the 5 main journal bores. Use them, and the numbers or letters stamped on the crank (marks for main journal size), to choose the correct bearings.

| 2. | Check the crankshaft end play. Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver. Crankshaft end play 0.100 - 0.280 mm (0.0039 - 0.0110 in.) |
If the end play is greater than maximum, replace the thrust bearings as a set. Thickness of thrust bearing : 2.910 - 2.950 mm (0.1146 - 0.1161 in.) |
|
| 3. | Inspect the crankshaft main journals and pin journals. Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of each main journal and pin journal. Main journal diameter : 44.942 - 44.960 mm (1.7694 - 1.7701 in.) Crank pin diameter : 41.954 - 41.972 mm (1.6517 - 1.6524 in.) |

|
| (3) | Apply liquid sealant on lower crankcase. Then, assemble the part within 5 minutes of applying sealant. Width : 2.5 - 3.5 mm (0.0984 - 0.1378 in) Specification : MS721-40AA or AAO / above. |
|
| (4) | Tighten the crankshaft bearing cap bolts several times according to the tightening sequence shown below. Tightening torque : 27.5 - 31.4 N.m (2.8 - 3.2 kgf.m, 20.3 - 23.1 lb-ft) + 118 - 122° |
| •
| Always use new bearing cap bolts. |
|

|
|
| 6. | Check the crankshaft end play. |
| 7. | Install the piston and connecting rod assemblies. (Refer to Cylinder Block - "Piston and Connecting Rod") |
