| Measuring radial clearance of conrods |
| Special tools and workshop equipment required |
| –
| Remove conrod bearing caps. |
| –
| Clean bearing caps and bearing journals. |
| –
| Place Plastigage onto bearing journal or into bearing shells corresponding to width of bearing. |
| –
| 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): 0.028 ... 0.077 mm |
| l
| Wear limit (radial clearance): 0.12 mm |
| –
| Renew bolts for conrod bearings. |
