Refer to “engine bottom side disassembly” (page 1d- 49).
Refer to “engine bottom side assembly” .
Conrod small end I.D.
Measure the conrod small end inside diameter using the small bore gauge.
If the conrod small end inside diameter exceeds the service limit, replace the conrod.
Special tool
(a): 09900–20602 (dial gauge)
(b): 09900–22401 (small bore gauge
(10 – 18
mm))
Conrod small end i.D.
Service limit: 15.040 Mm (0.5921 In)
Conrod big end side clearance
- Check the conrod big end side clearance using the thickness gauge.
Special tool
(a): 09900–20803 (thickness gauge)
Conrod big end side clearance service limit: 0.30 Mm (0.012 In)
- If the clearance exceeds the limit, remove the conrod and measure the conrod big end width and crank pin width. Refer to “engine bottom side assembly” . If any of the measurements are out of specification, replace the conrod or crankshaft.
Special tool
(b): 09900–20205 (micrometer (0 –
25 mm))
