Measurement steps:
CAUTION:
Do not interchange the big end bearings and
connecting rods. To obtain the correct
crankshaft-pin-to-big-end-bearing
ance and prevent engine damage, the big
end bearings must be installed in their origi-
nal positions.
S Clean the big end bearings, crankshaft pins,
and bearing portions of the connecting rods.
S Install the big end upper bearing into the con-
necting rod and the big end lower bearing into
the connecting rod cap.
NOTE:
Align the projections a on the big end bearings
with the notches b in the connecting rod and
connecting rod cap.
S Put a piece of Plastigauge
shaft pin.
S Assemble the connecting rod halves.
NOTE:
S Do not move the connecting rod or crankshaft
until the clearance measurement has been
completed.
S Apply molybdenum disulfide grease onto the
bolts, threads, and nut seats.
S Make sure that the "Y" mark c on the connect-
ing rod faces towards the left side of the crank-
shaft.
S Make sure that the characters d on both the
connecting rod and connecting rod cap are
aligned.
