Thrust Clearance
CHECK CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while moving the connecting rod back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance: 0.160 - 0.312 mm (0.0063 - 0.0123 inch)
Maximum thrust clearance: 0.35 mm (0.0138 inch)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace the connecting rod assembly. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
