(Example) Measured value ‘J’ = 47.700 mm
Measured value ‘K’ = 47.653 mm
Clearance ‘G’ = 0.047 mm

Radial Clearance ‘L’ 0.026 - 0.068 mm

Note : Compare your radial clearance of the connecting rod bearing to the service manual
Note: If the clearance is out of standard, adjust the radial clearances of connecting rod bearing by
replacing the connecting rod bearing shells.

• Remove the connecting rod bearing cap.
• Install the piston.

• Rotate the crank shaft by hand and check whether it rotates smoothly.
Note: Find how to access a dial gauge or micrometer set or plastic gauge in various different crush
dimensions. (Fig 17)
Plastic gauge is a measuring tool used for measuring clearances
