* Essential SST.
NOTE
Additional SSTs may be ordered by calling 1-800-933-8335.
Inspection Procedure
NOTE
In some cases, a P030# (cylinder # misfire detected) DTC may also be set as a result of oil
consumption.
HINT
Use tape, sealer, cable ties, or equivalent to mark the oil dipstick, oil drain plug, and oil fill cap.
5. Advise the customer to drive the vehicle normally for 1,200 miles and return for inspection.
6. Determine the quantity of oil that was consumed in 1,200 miles.
Was the oil level more than 1 quart low after 1,200 miles of normal driving?
• YES — Go to the Repair Procedure.
• NO — This TSB does NOT apply. Warranty guideline for acceptable oil consumption is
1 quart per 1,200 miles of operation. No warranty claim should be filed.
Repair Procedure
NOTICE
Be careful NOT to damage the contact
surfaces of the crankcase, chain
cover, and oil pan.
NOTICE
After removing the oil seal, check
the crankshaft for damage. If the
crankshaft is damaged, smooth the
surface with 400-grit sandpaper.
1 Cut Position
NOTICE
Remove the stiffening crankcase as a unit. Do NOT separate the halves of the assembly,
exposing the balance shaft bearings.
NOTICE
Be careful NOT to damage the contact
surfaces of the crankcase and cylinder
block.

HINT
The matchmarks on the connecting
rods and caps are provided for
ensuring correct reassembly.

(4) Using the 2 removed connecting rod cap bolts, remove the connecting rod cap and
lower bearing by moving the connecting rod cap right and left.
HINT
Keep the lower bearing inserted in the connecting rod cap.
1 Plastigage™
4. Check that the front mark of the connecting rod cap is facing forward.
Figure 15.
1 Front Mark
5. Install and alternately tighten the bolts of the connecting rod cap in several steps.
Figure 16.
NOTE
The connecting cap bolts should be tightened in 2 progressive steps.
6. Mark the front of the connecting rod cap bolts with paint.
Retighten the cap bolts by 90◦ as shown in the illustration.

If the oil clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the connecting rod
bearings. If necessary, inspect the crankshaft.
NOTE
Completely remove the Plastigage™ after the measurement.

If replacing a bearing, replace it with
one that has the same number as
its respective connecting rod cap.
Each bearing’s standard thickness is
indicated by a 1, 2, or 3 mark on its
surface.

numbers and if parts are suitable for re-use.
NOTE
The following steps are required to determine the correct replacement part numbers.
HINT
If necessary, sublet the following specialized and precision operations to a local engine
machining shop.
A. Inspect the original piston pin oil clearance to determine the correct replacement piston
part number below.
