CRANKSHAFT / TRANSMISSION 8-11
Connecting Rod Big End Bearing
Insert/Crankpin Clearance
Standard: 0.031 -0.059 mm
Service limit: 0.10 mm
* If clearance is within the standard, no bearing replace-
ment is required.
*If clearance is between 0.059 mm and the service limit
(0.10 mm), replace the bearing inserts with inserts
painted blue. Check insert/crankpin clearance with the
plastigage. The clearance may exceed the standard
slightly, but it must not be less than the minimum in
order to avoid bearing seizure.
*If clearance exceeds the service limit, measure the
diameter of the crankpins.
