18.9 Ensure grooved bearing shells (arrowed) are installed exactly as described in text - early engine shown Main bearing running clearance check 7 Clean the backs of the bearing shells and the bearing locations in both the cylinder block/crankcase and the main bearing ladder. 8 Press the bearing shells into their locations, ensuring that the tab on each shell engages in the notch in the cylinder block/crankcase or main bearing ladder location. Take care not to touch any shell bearing surface with your fingers. 9 Press the bearing shells with the oil grooves into the upper locations (in the cylinder block/crankcase). Note the following points (see illustration): a) On all engines, grooved bearing shells are fitted to Nos 2, 3 and 4 upper bearing locations. Note the central locating tabs of the grooved shells. b) On early engines, grooved bearing shells were fitted only to Nos 2 and 4 upper bearing locations at the factory. On reassembly of one of these units, a grooved shell must be fitted at No 3 upper bearing location as well, instead of the plain item originally used. Note, however, that this will require a grooved shell with an offset locating tab instead of the central tab that is used on all other grooved shells. See your Rover dealer for details. c) If bearing shells of differing grades are to be fitted to the same journal, the thicker shell must always be fitted to the main bearing ladder location (see paragraph 1). d) On all engines, if the original main bearing shells are being re-used, these must be refitted to their original locations in the cylinder block/crankcase and main bearing ladder. 10 The main bearing running clearance should be checked if there is any doubt about the amount of crankshaft wear that has taken place, if the crankshaft has been reground and is to be refitted with non-Rover undersized bearing shells, or if non-genuine Engine removal and general overhaul procedures 2B•13 18.14 Lay length of Plastigauge on journal to be measured, parallel to crankshaft centre-line bearing shells are to be fitted. If the original crankshaft or a Rover replacement part is to be installed, the shell selection procedure given above will produce the correct clearances and a further check will not be necessary. If the clearance is to be checked, it can be done in either of two ways. 11 The first method (which will be difficult to achieve without a range of internal micrometers or internal/external expanding calipers) is to refit the main bearing ladder to the cylinder block/crankcase, with bearing shells in place. With the ladder retaining bolts tightened to the specified torque, refit the oil rail and the cylinder head, then measure the internal diameter of each assembled pair of bearing shells. If the diameter of each corresponding crankshaft journal is measured and then subtracted from the bearing internal diameter, the result will be the main bearing running clearance. 12 The second (and more accurate) method is to use product known as Plastigauge. This consists of a fine thread of perfectly round plastic which is compressed between the bearing shell and the journal. When the shell is removed, the plastic is deformed and can be measured with a special card gauge supplied with the kit. The running clearance is determined from this gauge. Plastigauge is sometimes difficult to obtain but enquiries at one of the larger specialist quality motor factors should produce the name of a stockist in your area. The procedure for using Plastigauge is as follows. 13 With the main bearing upper shells in place, carefully lay the crankshaft in position. Do not use any lubricant. The crankshaft journals and bearing shells must be perfectly clean and dry. 14 Cut several lengths of the appropriate size Plastigauge (they should be slightly shorter than the width of the main bearings) and place one length on each crankshaft journal axis (see illustration). 15 With the main bearing lower shells in position, refit the main bearing ladder (see below) and the oil rail, tightening the fasteners 1689 Rover 214 & 414 Updated Version 09/97 18.18 Using scale on Plastigauge envelope to check (at widest point) width of crushed Plastigauge to the specified torque wrench settings. Take care not to disturb the Plastigauge. 16 Refit the cylinder head (using the original gasket, to save over-compressing the new one). Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in the approved sequence. Do not rotate the crankshaft at any time during this operation. 17 Remove the cylinder head, the oil rail and the main bearing ladder. Do not disturb the Plastigauge or rotate the crankshaft. 18 Compare the width of the crushed Plastigauge on each journal to the scale printed on the Plastigauge envelope to obtain the main bearing running clearance (see illustration). 19 If the clearance is not as specified, the bearing shells may be the wrong grade (or excessively worn if the original shells are being re-used). Before deciding that different grade shells are needed, make sure that no dirt or oil was trapped between the bearing shells and the ladder or cylinder block/crankcase when the clearance was measured. If the Plastigauge was wider at one end than at the other, the journal may be tapered. 20 Carefully scrape away all traces of the Plastigauge material from the crankshaft and bearing shells using a fingernail or other object which is unlikely to score the shells. Final crankshaft refitting 21 Carefully lift the crankshaft out of the cylinder block once more. 22 Using a little grease, stick the thrustwashers to each side of the No 3 main bearing upper location. Ensure that the oilway grooves on each thrustwasher face outwards. 23 Place the bearing shells in their locations, as described in paragraphs 7 to 9. If new shells are being fitted, ensure that all traces of the protective grease are cleaned off using paraffin. Wipe dry the shells and connecting rods with a lint-free cloth. Liberally lubricate each bearing shell in the cylinder block/crankcase, then lower the crankshaft into position so that Nos 2 and 3 cylinder crankpins are at TDC. 24 Refit the piston/connecting rod 2B
2B•14 Engine removal and general overhaul procedures 18.24a If piston/connecting rod assemblies are refitted before main bearing ladder . . . assemblies (see illustrations). Leave No 1 and 4 cylinders at the TDC position 25 Thoroughly degrease the mating surfaces of the cylinder block/crankcase and the main bearing ladder. Apply the special Rover sealant to the mating surface of the cylinder block/crankcase as shown (see illustration). Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the sealant kit. If the Rover sealant is being used, assembly must be completed as soon as possible after the sealant has been applied (maximum of 20 minutes). If another sealant is being used, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. 18.26 Crankshaft main bearing ladder bolt tightening sequence 18.30b Always use new bolts when refitting flywheel 18.24b . . . care is required to hold crankshaft steady while connecting rod big-end cap bolts are tightened 26 Lubricate the bearing shells, then refit the main bearing ladder, ensuring that the shells are not displaced and that the locating dowels engage correctly. Working progressively, by a turn at a time and in the sequence shown (see illustration), tighten the ladder bolts to the specified torque wrench setting. The crankshaft cannot now be rotated. 27 Thoroughly degrease the mating surfaces of the oil rail and the main bearing ladder. Apply the special Rover sealant to the oil rail mating surface as shown (see illustration). Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the sealant kit. 18.27 Apply thin bead of sealant to oil rail mating surface as shown by heavy black lines, then spread to an even film 18.30c Use fabricated tool to lock flywheel while slackening or tightening flywheel bolts 1689 Rover 214 & 414 Updated Version 09/97 18.25 Apply thin bead of sealant to cylinder block/crankcase mating surface along paths shown by heavy black lines, then spread to an even film 28 Refit the oil rail, tightening the nuts to the specified torque wrench setting. 29 Using a new sealing ring, refit the oil pump pick-up/strainer pipe to the oil rail, then refit the sump. Tighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque wrench settings. 30 Fit a new crankshaft left-hand oil seal, then refit the flywheel (see illustrations). 31 Refit the oil pump and install a new crankshaft right-hand oil seal (see illustrations). 32 Refit the cylinder head. Rotate the crankshaft to the 90° BTDC position so that the crankshaft sprocket timing marks align. 18.30a Fitting a new crankshaft left-hand oil seal 18.31a Use grease to stick new gasket in place when refitting oil pump
