bearing clearance
by
performing
the
following
steps.
4. Install
the
piston/connecting
rod
assemblies
into
the correct
cylinders
as
described
in
this
chapter.
5. Place
a strip
of
Plastigage
material
over each
rod
bearing
journal
parallel
to the
crankshaft
(Figure
161).
Do not
place
the
Plastigage
material
over an
oil
hole in
the crankshaft.
NOTE
Do
not rotate
the cranlcshaft while
the
Plastigage
strips are in
place.
6.
Install
the
rod
cap onto
one
rod
and tighten
the
nuts
to the torque specification listed
in Table 2.
7. Remove
the
rod
cap and measure
the
width
of
the
flattened Plastigage
material
(Figure
162)
following
the
manufacturer's instructions.
Measure
both
ends of the
Plastigage
strip.
A
difference of
0.025
mm
(0.001
in.)
or more indicates
a tapered
journal.
Confirm
with
a micrometer. New
bearing
clearance and the service limit
are
listed
in Table 1.
Remove
all of the
Plastigage
material from
the
crankshaft
journals
and the connecting rods.
8.
If
the
rod
bearing
clearance
is
greater
than
specified, use the following
steps for new
bearing
selection.
9.
The
crankshaft
rod
journals
are
marked with
letters
66A"
or
'68"
(A,
Figure 163)
on
the
counterbalance
weights.
The
connecting
rod
and
cap are
marked with
numbers
"1"
or
"2"
(Figure
164).
10. Measure
the rod
journal
(A,
Figure
165) with
a
micrometer. If
the rod
journal
dimension
is within
the
tolerances stated
for
each letter
code
in Table
3
the bearing
can be simply
selected by color code.
Select
new
bearings
by cross-referencing the rod
journal
letters
(A,
Figure 163) in
the horizontal
column
of
Table
3 to the
rod
bearing
number
(Figure
164) in
the
vertical
column. Where
the
2
columns intersect,
the
new
bearing color
is
indicated. Table 4
gives
the
bearing insert
color
and thickness.
11. If
any
rod
bearing
journal
measurements
taken
during
inspection
do not fall within
the tolerance
range for
the stamped letter
codes, the
serviceability of the crankshaft
must
be
carefully
examined.
If
the
rod
bearing
journal
in
question
is
not
tapered, out-of-round
or scored, the crankshaft
may
be still used. However,
the bearing selection
will
have
to be made
based on the
measured
diameter of
the bearing
journal
and
not
by the
stamped letter
code.
Honda
recommends the
crankshaft be
replaced
whenever
a
rod
bearing
journal
dimension is
beyond the specified
range
of
the stamped letter
code.
