Connecting Rod and Crankshaft
End Play
1. Measure the connecting rod end play with a feeler
gauge.
Connecting Rod End Play:
Stsndard (Nsw): 0.15 - 0.30 mm
{0.006 - 0.012 in)
Service Limit: 0./t0 mm 10.016 in)
2. lf the connecting rod end play is out-of-tolerance,
install a new connecting rod.
lf it is still out-of-tolerance, replace the crankshaft
{see pages 7-9 and 7-20).

Clearance
To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance,
remove the main caps and bearing halves.
Clean each main journal and bearing half with a
clean shop towel.
Place a strip of plastigage across each main journal.
NOTE: lf the engine is still in the vehicle when you
bolt the main cap down to check clearance, the
weight of the crankshaft and flywheel will flatten
the plastigage further than just the torque on the
cap bolt, and give you an incorrect reading. For an
accurale...
