NOTE: If the maximum permissible diameter is
exceeded, grind off contact surface of connecting
rod bearing cap by a Maximum of 0.02mm.
(3) Using a dial indicator, measure connecting rod
bearing basic bore, repair as necessary (Fig. 19).
NOTE: If excessive wear is present, press in new
connecting rod bushings.
(4) Measure connecting rod bushing inner diame-
ter (Fig. 19).
(5) Inspect wristpin bushing.
(6) Measure piston pin end play in connecting rod
bushing.
(7) Measure peak to valley height of connecting
rod bushing on inside.
