14A-4 Service Information Guide (All models) Plastic gauge 1. Using the plasti-gauge Method for measuring the gap between the connecting rod bearing and crank pin Clean the connecting rod and bearing, and assemble them on the connecting rod. Cut the plasti-gauge to the width of the crank pin and lay it parallel avoiding the crank pin oil hole. Align the markings on the connecting rod and on the cap to assemble it on the crank pin. Apply molybdenum disulfide to the threaded portion and seat surface of the tightening bolts. Alternately tighten them so that the cap is at the specified torque.
Method for measuring the gap between the crank bearing and crank journal Clean the installation surfaces of the cylinder block and crankcase bearing, and assemble them on the cylinder block and crankcase. Gently place the crankshaft on the cylinder block, and lock it into place by turning it approximately 30 degrees. Cut the plasti-gauge to the width of the crank journal and lay it parallel avoiding the journal oil hole. Gently place the crankcase on the cylinder block, and apply molybdenum disulfide to the threaded portion and seat surface of the tightening bolts. Tighten in the specified order at the specified torques. Caution Never move the connecting rod when the plasti-gauge is in use.
Gently remove the cap and connecting rod and use a scale printed on the packaging of the plasti-gauge to measure the flattened plasti-gauge. Caution Never move the connecting rod when the plasti-gauge is in use. Gently remove the crankcase and use a scale printed on the packaging of the plasti-gauge to measure the flattened plastic gauge.
