Crank Pin And Connecting Rod Bearings Inspection - Suzuki Grand Vitara 2011 Manual

1D-48 Engine Mechanical: For M16A Engine with VVT
Connecting rod bolt deformation (Plastic
deformation tightening bolt)
Measure each thread diameter of connecting rod bolt (2)
at "A" on 32 mm (1.25 in.) from bolt mounting surface
and "B" on 40 mm (1.57 in.) from bolt mounting surface
by using a micrometer (3).
Calculate difference in diameters ("A" – "B"). If it is
exceeds limit, replace connected rod (1).
Connecting rod bolt measurement points
"a": 32 mm (1.25 in.)
"b": 40 mm (1.57 in.)
Connecting rod bolt diameter difference
Limit ("A" – "B"): 0.1 mm (0.004 in.)
Crank Pin and Connecting Rod Bearings
Inspection
Crank Pin Diameter
Inspect crank pin for uneven wear or damage. Measure
crank pin for out-of-round or taper with a micrometer. If
crank pin is damaged or out-of round or taper is out of
limit, replace crankshaft or regrind crank pin to undersize
and use undersize bearing.

Connecting Rod Bearing General Information
Service connecting rod bearings are available in
standard size and 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.) undersize
bearing, and standard size bearing has 5 kinds of
bearings differing in tolerance.
For identification of undersize bearing, it is painted red at
the position as indicated in the figure, undersize bearing
thickness is 1.605 – 1.615 mm (0.0632 – 0.0635 in.) at
the center of it.

Connecting Rod Bearing Visual Inspection
Inspect bearing shells for signs of fusion, pitting, burn or
flaking and observe contact pattern. Bearing shells
found in defective condition must be replaced.
