| Checking radial clearance of conrod bearings |
| Special tools and workshop equipment required |
| –
| Remove conrod bearing cap. Clean bearing cap and bearing journal. |
| –
| Place a length of Plastigage corresponding to the width of the bearing on the bearing journal or bearing shell. |
| –
| Fit conrod bearing cap and tighten to 30 Nm. Do not rotate crankshaft. |
| –
| Remove conrod bearing caps once more. |
| –
| Compare width of Plastigage with measurement scale: |
| l
| Radial clearance (new): 0.010 ... 0.052 mm. |
| l
| Radial clearance (wear limit): 0.12 mm. |
