Conrod Crank Pin Bearing Inspection And Selection - Suzuki GSX1300R Manual

Conrod Crank Pin Bearing Inspection and
Selection
Refer to "Conrod Removal and Installation (Page 1D-
89)".
Inspection
1) Inspect the bearing surfaces for any signs of fusion,
pitting, burn or flaws. If any, replace them with a
specified set of bearings.
2) Place the plastigauge axially along the crank pin,
avoiding the oil hole, as shown in the figure.
Special tool
(A): 09900–22301 (Plastigauge (0.025 –
0.076 mm))
3) Tighten the conrod cap bolts to the specified torque,
in two stages.
NOTE
• When installing the conrod cap to the
crank pin, make sure that I.D code "A" on
the conrod faces towards the intake side.
• Never rotate the crankshaft or conrod
when a piece of plastigauge is installed.
Tightening torque

4) Remove the conrod caps and measure the width of
the compressed plastigauge using the envelope
scale. This measurement should be taken at the
widest part of the compressed plastigauge.
If the oil clearance exceeds the service limit, select
the specified bearings from the bearing selection
table.
Conrod big end oil clearance
Standard: 0.032 – 0.056 mm (0.0013 – 0.0022 in)
Conrod big end oil clearance
Service limit: 0.080 mm (0.0031 in)
Selection
1) Check the corresponding conrod I.D. code numbers
([1] or [2]) "A".
