2. Remove the thrust washers.

12. CKP Pulse Plate - Remove

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the CKP pulse plate.

Inspection

1. Crankshaft - Inspect

Journal Diameter, Out-of-Round, and Taper

1. Clean the crankshaft oil passages with pipe cleaners or a suitable brush
2. Check the keyway slot and the threaded holes for damage
3. Measure the out-of-round at the middle of each rod and main journal in two places. The difference between measurements on each journal must not be more than the service limit.

Standard (New): 54.976-55.000 mm (2.16441-2.16535 in)
Standard (New): 44.976-45.000 mm (1.77071-1.77165 in)
Standard (New): 0.005 mm (0.00020 in) max.

Service Limit: 0.01 mm (0.0004 in)

4. Measure the taper at the edges of each rod and the main journal. The difference between measurements on each journal must not be more than the service limit.

Standard (New): 0.005 mm (0.00020 in) max.

Service Limit: 0.01 mm (0.0004 in)

Straightness

5. Place the V-blocks on a flat surface
6. Check the total runout with the crankshaft supported on V-blocks
7. Measure the runout on all of the main journals. Rotate the crankshaft two complete revolutions. The difference between measurements on each main journal must not be more than the service limit.

Standard (New): 0.03 mm (0.0012 in) max.

Service Limit: 0.04 mm (0.0016 in)

Installation

1. End Bush - Install (M/T)

1. Install the end bush when replacing the crankshaft. Using the driver handle, 15 x 135L and the bearing driver attachment, 24 x 26 mm, to drive the end bush squarely into the crankshaft to the specified installed height.

2. Crankshaft Main Bearing Clearance - Inspect

3. CKP Pulse Plate - Install

NOTE:

• Be careful not to damage the CKP pulse plate.
• Apply new engine oil to the threads of the CKP pulse plate mounting bolts.

4. Crankshaft - install

1. Install the bearing halves in the engine block and the connecting rods
2. Apply a coat of new engine oil to the main bearings and the connecting rod bearings
3. Hold the crankshaft so rod journal No. 2 and rod journal No. 3 are straight up, then lower the crankshaft into the engine block.

NOTE : Be careful not to damage the journals and the CKP pulse plate.

5. Thrust Washer - Install

1. Apply new engine oil to the thrust washer surfaces. Install the thrust washers in the No. 4 journal of the engine block.

6. Lower Block - Install

1. Apply liquid gasket to the engine block mating surface of the lower block, and to the inside edge of the threaded bolt holes.
2. Put the lower block on the engine block.
3. Apply new engine oil to the threads and flange of the bearing cap bolts.

Fig. 8: Main Cap Tightening Sequence With Torque Specifications

4. Tighten the bolts in three steps; tighten the bolts until the bolts sit on the lower block, tighten the bolts until the liquid gasket is compressed, tighten the bolts to specified torque.
   NOTE: Apply new engine oil to the threads and flange of the bearing cap bolts.

5. Tighten the bearing cap bolts an additional 57º in the number sequence shown.

Fig. 9: Lower Block Tightening Sequence With Torque Specifications

6. Tighten the 8mm bolts in three steps; tighten the bolts until the bolts sit on the lower block, tighten the bolts until the liquid gasket is compressed, tighten the bolts to specified torque.

7. Connecting Rod Bearing Clearance - Inspect

8. Connecting Rod Bolt - Inspect

1. Measure the diameter of each connecting rod bolt at point A and point B
2. Calculate the difference in diameter between point A and point B.

Point A - Point B = Difference in Diameter
Difference in Diameter
Specification: 0-0.05 mm (0-0.0020 in)

3. If the difference in diameter is out of specification, replace the connecting rod bolt.

9. Connecting Rod Cap - Install

1. Line up the mark (A) on the connecting rod and the connecting rod cap, then seat the rod journals into connecting rod No. 1 and connecting rod No. 4
2. Apply new engine oil to the bolt threads and flanges, then install the bolts finger-tight
3. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise
4. Line up the mark on the connecting rod and the connecting rod cap, then seat the rod journals into connecting rod No. 2 and connecting rod No. 3
5. Apply new engine oil to the bolt threads and flanges, then install the bolts finger-tight
6. Torque the connecting rod bolts to 20 N.m (2.0 kgf.m, 15 lbf.ft).

7. Tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional 90º.

NOTE: Remove the connecting rod bolt if you tightened it beyond the specified angle, do the connecting rod bolt inspection procedure. Do not loosen it back to the specified angle.

10. Engine Oil Strainer and Baffle Plate - Install

11. Oil Pan - Install

12. Transmission End Crankshaft Oil Seal - Install - Refer to: Pulley End Crankshaft Oil Seal Replacement - In Car, or Transmission End Crankshaft Oil Seal Replacement - In Car

13. Cylinder Head - Install

14. Transmission - Install

1. Install the transmission:

• M/T
• CVT

15. Pressure Plate, Clutch Disc, and Flywheel - Install (M/T)

16. Drive Plate - Install (CVT)

17. Engine/Transmission - Install

NOTE: The CKP pattern learn is required after this procedure.
