INSPECTION
1. CRANKSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE
The crankshaft oil clearance can be measured easily
using a plastic gauge.
To check the crankshaft oil clearance with a plastic gauge,
carry ou t th e following procedure:
(1) Wipe all oil off th e crankshaft journal and the bearing’s
inside surface.
(2) Install the crankshaft.
(3) Cut the plastic gauge such that its length matches the
width of the bearing, then place it on the journal along
the journal’s axis.
(4) Gently fit the crankshaft bearing cap and tighten the bolts
to the specified torque.
(5) Remove the bolts and gently remove the crankshaft
bearing cap.
(6) Using the scale printed on the plastic gauge bag, measure
the plastic gauge’s crushed section at its widest point.
Standard value: 0.02 - 0.04 mm
Limit: 0.1 mm
NOTE
The crankshaft pins and journals are fillet-rolled and must
not be machined to undersize dimensions.
2. CYLINDER BLOCK
(1) Visually check for cracks, rust, and corrosion, a nd inspect
the cylinder block using a flaw detecting agent. Rectify
defects where possible or replace the cylinder block.
(2) Ensure that the top surface is free of gasket chips and
other foreign material. Check the cylinder block’s top
surface for distortion using a straight edge and thickness
gauge.
Standard value: 0.05 mm
Limit: 0.1 mm
