CHECKING CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while moving the connecting rod back and forth.
-
Standard thrust clearance: 0.150 - 0.330 mm (0.0059 - 0.0130 inch)
-
Maximum thrust clearance: 0.380 mm (0.0150 inch)
If the thrust clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the connecting rod assembly. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
