EM-120 < UNIT DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY > [VQ40DE] ENGINE UNIT Method of Using Plastigage • Remove oil and dust on crankshaft pin journal and the surfaces of each bearing completely. • Cut plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes. • Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and cap, and tighten connecting rod bolts to the specified EM-103, "Disassembly and Assembly" for the tightening procedure. CAUTION: Do not rotate crankshaft. • Remove connecting rod bearing cap and bearing, and using scale on plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width. NOTE: The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”. MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE Method by Calculation • Install main bearings to cylinder block and lower cylinder block, and tighten lower cylinder block bolts to the specified torque. Refer to EM-103, "Disassembly and Assembly" for the tightening proce- dure. • Measure the inner diameter of main bearing with bore gauge. (Bearing clearance) = (Main bearing inner diameter) – (Crankshaft main journal diameter) • If the calculated value exceeds the limit, select proper main bearing according to main bearing inner diame- ter and crankshaft main journal diameter to obtain specified bearing oil clearance. Refer to . Method of Using Plastigage • Remove engine oil and dust on crankshaft main journal and the surfaces of each bearing completely. • Cut plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes. • Install main bearings to cylinder block and lower cylinder block, and tighten lower cylinder block bolts to the specified torque. Refer to EM-103, "Disassembly and Assembly" CAUTION: Do not rotate crankshaft. • Remove lower cylinder block and bearings, and using scale on plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width. NOTE: The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”. CRUSH HEIGHT OF MAIN BEARING PBIC1149E Standard : 0.035 - 0.045 mm (0.0014 - 0.0018 in) (actual clearance) Limit : 0.065 mm (0.0026 in) PBIC2204E PBIC1149E |
