TM-5-4310-389-14b.Axial play of the connecting rods on the crankshaft (figure 5-1). Bring all connecting rods to one side. Thendetermine the axial play by means of a feeler gauge 0.016-inch min. to 0.032-inch max. (minimum 0.4 mm,maximum 0.8 mm).c.Radial play of the bearings (figure 5-2). The radial play of the connecting rod bearings is correct when allconnecting rod small ends can be tilted by 0.4 to 0.8-inch (1 to 2 mm). If these tolerances are not met, replacethe complete crankshaft and connecting rod assemblyCAUTIONThe replacement of individual connecting rods is not recommended. The bearing play is adjusted at thefactory by means of needle cages with various needle diameters.REPLACEa.Press the crankshaft into the bearing cap.
