[QUOTE="JoniX, post: 203585, member: 3763"] I've measured the journal using plastigage, and it seems to be 0.076 mm play. But I'm unsure if I did it correct, I put two pieces of plastigage, one on top and one on the bottom, and both showed about 0.076 mm on the worst part. Am I supposed to add up those measurements, or go by one of them? The manual specifies 0.020-0.062 as the normal values, and 0.15 as the service limit. Would that mean it's still useable, or is it a bad idea? And final question.. Looking at exploded views, I was under the impression the oil pump would be on the left side of the engine, but looking at it there's no cover besides the flywheel. Do I have to split the engine to get to the pump, or is it actually on the right side? [B]EDIT[/B]: turns out I'm too stupid to look at exploded views. It's on the right side. [/QUOTE]
