NEW TIGHTENING METHOD USING PLASTIC REGION TIGHTENING BOLTS  
Parts of the engine use plastic region tightening bolts. The tightening procedure for these is different  
from that of conventional bolts and is described in relevant parts of this manual. Note that plastic region  
tightening bolts have fixed service limits. These limits are indicated in relevant parts of this manual and  
must be strictly observed.  
D
Plastic region tightening bolts are used for the following applications:  
(1) Cylinder head bolts  
(2) Connecting rod cap bolts  
D
The tightening procedure is basically as follows:  
After tightening a bolt to the specified torque, tighten it by a further 90_ + 90_ or by a further 90–100°.  
The exact tightening procedure differs depending on the bolt and is described in relevant parts of  
this manual.

FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET  
The engine has several areas where the form-in-place gasket (FIPG) is in use. To ensure that the gasket  
fully serves its purpose, it is necessary to observe some precautions when applying the gasket. Bead  
size, continuity and location are of paramount importance. Too thin a bead could cause leaks. Too thick  
a bead, on the other hand, could be squeezed out of location, causing blocking or narrowing of the  
fluid feed line. To eliminate the possibility of leaks from a joint, therefore, it is absolutely necessary to  
apply the gasket evenly without a break, while observing the correct bead size.  
The FIPG used in the engine is a room temperature vulcanization (RTV) type and is supplied in a 100-gram  
tube (Part No. MD970389 or MD997110). Since the RTV hardens as it reacts with the moisture in the  
atomospheric air, it is normally used in the metallic flange areas. The FIPG, Part No. MD970389, can  
be used for sealing both engine oil and coolant, while Part No. 997110 can only be used for engine  
oil sealing.  
Disassembly  
The parts assembled with the FIPG can be easily disassembled without use of a special method. In  
some cases, however, the sealant between the joined surfaces may have to be broken by lightly striking  
with a mallet or similar tool. A flat and thin gasket scraper may be lightly hammered in between the  
joined surfaces. In this case, however, care must be taken to prevent damage to the joined surfaces.  
For removal of the oil pan, the special tool “Oil Pan Remover” (MD998727) is available. Be sure to use  
the special tool to remove the oil pan. <Except aluminium die-cast oil pans>  
Surface Preparation  
Thoroughly remove all substances deposited on the gasket application surfaces, using a gasket scraper  
or wire brush. Check to ensure that the surfaces to which the FIPG is to be applied is flat. Make sure  
that there are no oils, greases and foreign substances deposited on the application surfaces. Do not  
forget to remove the old sealant remained in the bolt holes.  
Form-In-Place Gasket Application  
When assembling parts with the FIPG, you must observe some precautions, but the procedures is very  
simple as in the case of a conventional precut gasket.  
Applied FIPG bead should be of the specified size and without breaks. Also be sure to encircle the  
bolt hole circumference with a completely continuous bead. The FIPG can be wiped away unless it is  
hardened. While the FIPG is still moist (in less than 15 minutes), mount the parts in position. When  
the parts are mounted, make sure that the gasket is applied to the required area only. In addition, do  
not apply any oil or water to the sealing locations or start the engine until a sufficient amount of time  
(about one hour) has passed after installation is completed.  
The FIPG application procedure may vary on different areas. Observe the procedure described in the  
text when applying the FIPG.

contaminated by dirt or other foreign substances.  
2. Do not attempt to disassemble the lash adjusters.

of diesel fuel. Into each container, pour enough diesel  
fuel to completely cover a lash adjuster when it is standing  
upright. Then, perform the following steps with each lash

1. CYLINDER HEAD  
(1) Before cleaning the cylinder head, check it for water leaks,  
gas leaks, cracks, and other damage.  
(2) Remove all oil, water scale, sealant, and carbon. After  
cleaning the oil passages, blow air through them to verify  
that they are not blocked.  
(3) Check for distortion in the cylinder head gasket surface  
using a straight edge and thickness gauge. If distortion  
exceeds the specified limit, grind the gasket surface to  
specification.

Caution  
To fit the connecting rod cap nuts with the cylinder

beforehand.  
(1) The connecting rod bolts and nuts utilize the plastic region  
tightening method. The bolts must therefore be checked  
for stretching before reuse. To check a bolt for stretching,  
screw the nut down the entire length of the thread by  
hand. Unless the nut turns smoothly all the way, the bolt’s  
threaded section is stretched and the bolt must be  
replaced.

INSPECTION  
1. CRANKSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE  
Plastic  
gauge  
The crankshaft oil clearance can be measured easily  
using a plastic gauge.  
To check the crankshaft oil clearance with a plastic gauge,  
carry out the following procedure:  
(1) Wipe all oil off the crankshaft journal and the bearing’s  
inside surface.  
(2) Install the crankshaft.  
(3) Cut the plastic gauge such that its length matches the  
width of the bearing, then place it on the journal along  
the journal’s axis.  
6EN0550  
(4) Gently fit the crankshaft bearing cap and tighten the bolts  
to the specified torque.  
(5) Remove the bolts and gently remove the crankshaft  
bearing cap.  
(6) Using the scale printed on the plastic gauge bag, measure  
the plastic gauge’s crushed section at its widest point.  
Standard value: 0.02 - 0.04 mm  
Limit: 0.1 mm  
1EN0271  
NOTE  
Fillet-rolled section  
The crankshaft pins and journals are fillet-rolled and must  
not be machined to undersize dimensions.  
2. CYLINDER BLOCK  
(1) Visually check for cracks, rust, and corrosion, and inspect  
the cylinder block using a flaw detecting agent. Rectify  
defects where possible or replace the cylinder block.  
(2) Ensure that the top surface is free of gasket chips and  
other foreign material. Check the cylinder block’s top  
surface for distortion using a straight edge and thickness  
gauge.  
Standard value: 0.05 mm  
Limit: 0.1 mm  
(3) Check the cylinder walls for cracks and seizure marks.  
If defects are evident, bore all the cylinders to oversize  
or replace the cylinder block.

all the cylinders to oversize and replace the piston and  
piston rings accordingly. Take measurements at the points  
shown.  
Standard value:

3. BORING CYLINDERS  
(1) Oversize pistons to be used should be determined on  
the basis of the cylinder with the largest bore.  
(2) Oversize pistons are available with the following oversize  
dimensions: 0.25 mm, 0.50 mm, and 1.00 mm. Measure  
the diameter of the piston to be used. Boring must be  
carried out such that the piston-to-cylinder clearance  
complies with the standard value. The piston’s diameter  
should be measured at the points shown.

dimension.  
Caution  
To prevent distortion caused by heat increases during  
boring bore the cylinders in the following order: No.  
2, No. 4, No. 1, No. 3.  
(5) Hone the cylinders to the final finish dimension (piston
