Checking the technical condition of the block and parts of the cylinder block

Connecting rods and crankshaft

1. Check the end play of the connecting rod. Using a feeler gauge, measure the end play by moving the connecting rod forward/back.

G4KD and G4KE engine block removal and disassembly

Standard gap size: 0.1 - 0.25 mm.

Maximum value: 0.35 mm.

If the connecting rod end play exceeds the limit, it must be replaced with a new one.

If, after installing a new connecting rod, the axial clearance exceeds the maximum allowable rate, it is necessary to replace the crankshaft assembly.

2. Measure the clearance in the bearings of the connecting rod journals of the crankshaft.

Make match marks on the connecting rod and the connecting rod cap for proper installation.

Remove the two connecting rod cap nuts.

Remove the connecting rod cap together with the bearing shell.

Clean and wash the crankshaft bearing and crankpin.

- Put a special plastic gauge on the crankpin, along the axis of the crankshaft.

Install the connecting rod cap and tighten the mounting bolts to a torque of 19.6 Nm + 90˚.

Do not rotate the crankshaft.

Unscrew the fastening nuts and remove the connecting rod cap.

Measure the thickness of the plastic gauge (the scale is included with the kit). Standard clearance in bearings: 0.025 - 0.043 mm.

G4KD and G4KE engine block removal and disassembly

If the plastic gauge is too wide or too thin after removal, remove the top insert and install a new one.

Then repeat the bearing clearance measurement. It is necessary to select the insert according to the color of the marking.

Do not insert a washer or scratch the surface of the clearance adjustment bushing.

- If the clearance in the bearing is still too large or small, it is necessary to install the next insert and repeat the measurement.

If it is impossible to adjust the clearance in the bearings by selecting liners, it is necessary to replace the crankshaft assembly and repeat the adjustment.

If the identification mark is not visible on the insert due to soot, it must be washed in a solvent. Do not clean the insert with a scraper or wire brush.

  • 3. Measure the clearance in the crankshaft bearings, for this:
  • - Unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the covers of the main bearings together with the bearing shells.

Clean all main bearings and bearing shells.

Place a special plastic gauge on each crankshaft main journal.

Install all main bearing covers and tighten the mounting bolts to a torque of 29.4 Nm + 120˚

Do not rotate the crankshaft

Remove the cover and bearing again, measure the thickness of the plastic gauge (the scale is attached to the kit). Standard value: 0.025 - 0.043 mm.

If the measurement value is too large or small, remove the upper half of the bearing, install a new one, select the bearing according to the color of the mark, recheck the clearance.

Do not grind or scratch bearings or caps to adjust clearance.

If the gauge shows that the clearance is still not standard, try installing a larger or smaller bearing and check the clearance again.

If it is impossible to adjust the clearance in the bearings by selecting liners, it is necessary to replace the crankshaft assembly and repeat the adjustment.

If the identification mark is not visible on the insert due to soot, it must be washed in a solvent. Do not clean the insert with a scraper or wire brush.

When installing, make sure that the number marked on the connecting rod and its cap matches the cylinder number. When installing a new connecting rod, make sure that the tabs for fixing the liner match the selections on the liner.

Replace the connecting rod assembly if its side surface is damaged. Also, replace the connecting rod, with increased wear of its working parts.

Using special equipment, measure the bend and twist of the connecting rod. The allowable amount of bending of the connecting rod is 0.05 mm / 100 mm. The allowable amount of twisting of the connecting rod is 0.1 mm / 100 mm. If the allowable values ​​of bending and twisting are exceeded, it is necessary to replace the connecting rod assembly.

Check the end play of the crankshaft.

Using a dial gauge, measure the end play of the crankshaft by moving it forward/backward with a screwdriver. Standard axial clearance: 0.06 - 0.26 mm. Maximum permissible value: 0.30 mm.

G4KE crank end play check

Measuring crankshaft journals and connecting rod journals

If the axial clearance exceeds the allowable limit, the thrust bearings must be replaced. Thrust bearing thickness: 1.925 - 1.965 mm.

Using a micrometer, measure the outside diameter of the crankshaft journals and crankpins. diameter of the main journals of the crankshaft: 51.942 - 51.960 mm. crankshaft journal diameter: 47.954 - 47.972 mm.

Measure in two mutually perpendicular planes, as shown in the figure.
