1) Clean the surface of crankshaft journal and the inside oil.
2) Set plastigauge on crank journal then assemble the connecting
rod, and fasten the bolt as per the specified torque.
Fastening torque: 12 N.m±1 N.m
Note
3) Disassemble the connecting rod and measure the thickness of
plastigauge.
4) When the clearance exceeds the maintenance limit, replace
the connecting rod and check the clearance again. If the clearance
still exceeds the maintenance limit after using new connecting
rod, grind the crankshaft journal and use the connecting rod less
than the standard value.
Standard Maintenance Limit
0.024-0.059 mm 0.115 mm
