Using a 5 mm hexagon wrench, install the 4 No. 1 oil nozzle sub-assemblies with the 4 bolts.
INSTALL PISTON
Using a screwdriver, install a new piston pin hole snap ring (rear side) at one end of the piston pin hole.
Tech Tips
Perform this procedure only when replacement of the piston pin hole snap ring (rear side) is necessary.
Tape the screwdriver tip before use.
Gradually heat the piston to 80 to 90°C (176 to 194°F).
Coat the piston, piston pin and connecting rod with engine oil.
| *a | Cutout |
| *b | Front Mark |
Align the cutout of the piston and front mark of the connecting rod, insert the connecting rod into the piston, and then push in the piston pin with your thumb until the piston pin comes into contact with the piston pin hole snap ring.
Note
Do not change the combination of the pistons and piston pins.
| *1 | Piston Pin Hole Snap Ring |
| *a | Cutout |
| *b | Protective Tape |
Using a screwdriver, install a new piston pin hole snap ring (front side) on the other side of the piston pin hole.
Tech Tips
Be sure that the end gap of the piston pin hole snap ring is not aligned with the service hole front mark portion of the piston.
Tape the screwdriver tip before use.
Check the fitting condition between the piston and piston pin.
Move the connecting rod back and forth on the piston pin. Check the fitting condition. If abnormal movement is felt, replace the piston and piston pin as a set.
Rotate the piston back and forth on the piston pin. Check the fitting condition.
If abnormal movement is felt, replace the piston and piston pin as a set.

| Piston Ring Mark | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Note
The No. 1 compression ring can be installed with either side facing upward.
Install the No. 2 compression ring with the code mark (A2) facing upward.
Paint marks can only be checked on new compression rings. When reusing compression rings, check each compression ring profile in order to install them to the correct positions.

INSTALL CRANKSHAFT PULLEY KEY
Install the 2 crankshaft pulley keys to the crankshaft.
INSTALL CRANKSHAFT BEARING
| *a | Correct |
| *b | Incorrect |
Clean the main journal and both surfaces of the crankshaft bearings and No. 2 crankshaft bearings.
Install the 5 crankshaft bearings to the cylinder block sub-assembly as shown in the illustration.
Note
Do not apply engine oil to the crankshaft bearings and the contact surfaces.
Both sides of the oil groove in the cylinder block sub-assembly should be visible through the oil feed holes in the crankshaft bearing. The amount visible on each side of the holes should be equal.
Do not allow coolant to come into contact with the crankshaft bearing inner surface.
If any coolant comes into contact with the crankshaft bearing inner surface, replace the crankshaft bearing with a new one.
| *a | Vernier Caliper |
Install the 5 No. 2 crankshaft bearings onto the crankshaft bearing caps.
Using a vernier caliper, measure the distance between the crankshaft bearing cap edge and the No. 2 crankshaft bearing edge.
| Difference Between (A) and (B) |
|---|
| 0 to 0.7 mm (0 to 0.0276 in.) |
Note
Do not apply engine oil to the No. 2 crankshaft bearings and the contact surfaces.
Do not allow coolant to come into contact with the No. 2 crankshaft bearing inner surface.
If any coolant comes into contact with the No. 2 crankshaft bearing inner surface, replace the No. 2 crankshaft bearing with a new one.
INSTALL CRANKSHAFT THRUST WASHER
| *a | Oil Groove |
Apply engine oil to the crankshaft thrust washers.
Install the 2 crankshaft thrust washers onto the No. 3 journal position of the cylinder block sub-assembly with the oil grooves facing outward.
INSTALL CRANKSHAFT
| *a | Front Mark |
Apply engine oil to the crankshaft bearings, and place the crankshaft on the cylinder block sub-assembly.
Apply engine oil to the No. 2 crankshaft bearings.
Confirm the front marks and numbers, and install the 5 crankshaft bearing caps onto the cylinder block sub-assembly with the front marks as shown in the illustration.
Tech Tips
The crankshaft bearing cap bolts are tightened in 3 progressive steps.
Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads and under the heads of the crankshaft bearing cap bolts.
Step 1:
Uniformly install and tighten the 10 crankshaft bearing cap bolts in several steps in the order shown in the illustration.

Front Side |
Apply engine oil to the cylinder walls, pistons, and surfaces of the connecting rod bearings.
Position the piston rings so that the ring ends are as shown in the illustration.
Tech Tips
Regardless of the front mark, the piston rings are positioned correctly if their ends are positioned opposite of each other.
| *a | Front Mark |
Using a hammer handle and piston ring compressor, press the 4 piston with connecting rods into each cylinder with the front mark of the piston facing the engine front.
Note
When inserting the piston with connecting rod into the cylinder block sub-assembly, make sure the No. 1 oil nozzle sub-assembly does not interfere with the connecting rod.
