4-2.1 Checking crank pin bushing
Check for flaking, melting or seizure on the contact sur-
face.
4•2,2 Measuring crank pin oil clearance
Use a plastic gauge.
Procedure
(1) Use the press gauge (Plastigage) for measuring oil
clearance
in
the crank pin.
(2) Mount the connecting rod on the crank pin (tighten to
specified torque).
Connecting rod tightening torque
4.5~5.5kg-m
(3) Remove the connecting rod and measure the broken

{3) When assembling
the
connecting rod, match
up
the
large end and large end cap number. Coat the bolts
with engine oi! and graduatly tighten them alternately
to the specified torque.
If
a torque wrench is not available, make match marks
on the bolt heads
and large end cap (to indicate the
proper
torque position) and retighten the bolts to those
positions.
