Fig. 13 Checking Crankshaft End Play— Dial
(3) Zero the dial indicator.
(4) Move crankshaft all the way to the front and
read the dial indicator. Refer to (Fig. 11) for specifi-
cations.
FEELER GAGE METHOD
(1) Move crankshaft all the way to the rear of its
travel using a lever inserted between a main bearing
cap and a crankshaft cheek, using care not to dam-
age any bearing surface. Do not loosen main bearing
cap.
(2) Use a feeler gauge between number three
thrust bearing and machined crankshaft surface to
determine end play.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
FRONT MOUNT
(1) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(2) Support the engine and transmission assembly
with a floor jack so it will not rotate.
(3) Remove the front engine mount thru-bolt from
the insulator and engine mount bracket (Fig. 14).
(4) Remove the mass damper. Remove the front
mount nuts and remove insulator assembly.
(5) Remove the engine mount bracket, if necessary.
(6) Reverse removal procedure for installation and
tighten fasteners in this order.
a. If engine mount bracket was removed, tighten
bolt 1 to 3 N·m (20 in. lbs.) and bolts 2, 3 and 4 to
108 N·m (80 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 14).
b. If engine mount bracket was removed, tighten
bolts 5 and 1 to 54 N·m (40 ft. lbs.).
c. Tighten engine mount bracket to insulator
assembly thru-bolt to 54 N·m (40 ft. lbs.).
d. Tighten insulator assembly nuts to the lower
radiator crossmember torque to 54 N·m (40 ft. lbs.).
