INSTALL CYLINDER BLOCK OIL ORIFICE
Using a 6 mm hexagon wrench, install the oil orifice.
INSTALL SUB-ASSEMBLY OIL NOZZLE NO. 1
Align the pin of the oil nozzle with the pin hole of the cylinder block.
Install the oil nozzle with the check valve. Install the 4 oil nozzles and check valves.
INSTALL CONNECTING ROD SMALL END BUSH
Using a round file, lightly file off any roughness from the small end of the connecting rod.
| *1 | Oil Hole |
| *2 | Ball |
Attach a new bush to SST with the ball of SST inside the oil hole of the bush.
| *1 | Oil Hole |
Align the oil holes of the bush and connecting rod.
| *1 | Bushing |
Using SST and a press, press in the bush.
Using a pin hole grinder, hone the bush to obtain the standard specified clearance (See step Click here) between the bush and piston pin.
Check the piston pin fit at normal room temperature. Coat the piston pin with engine oil, and push it into the connecting rod with your thumb.
INSTALL W/PIN PISTON SUB-ASSEMBLY
Assemble the piston and connecting rod.
Using snap ring pliers, install a new snap ring on one side of the piston pin hole.
Gradually heat the piston to about 60°C (140°F).
| *a | Front Mark (Arrow) |
| *b | Front Mark (Protrusion) |
Coat the piston pin with engine oil.
Align the front marks of the piston and connecting rod, and push in the piston pin with your thumb.
Check fit between the piston and piston pin.
Try to move the piston back and forth on the piston pin.
Using snap ring pliers, install a new snap ring on the other side of the piston pin hole.
| *1 | Oil Ring Ends |
| *2 | Coil Joint |
Install the piston rings.
Install the coil and oil ring by hand.
Tech Tips
Face the end gap of the oil ring in the opposite direction coil joint.
| *1 | No. 1 |
| *2 | No. 2 |
| *3 | Code Mark |
Using a piston ring expander, install the No. 1 and No. 2 piston rings with the code mark facing upward.
| Code mark | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| *1 | Oil Ring |
| *2 | Coil |
| *3 | No.1 Ring |
| *4 | No.2 Ring |
| *a | Front Mark (Arrow) |
Position the piston rings so that the ring ends are as shown.
Note
Do not align the ring ends.
INSTALL CONNECTING ROD BEARING
Align the bearing claw with the groove of the connecting rod or connecting cap.
Install the bearings in the connecting rod and connecting rod cap.
INSTALL CRANKSHAFT BEARING
Tech Tips
Upper bearings have an oil groove and oil hole; lower bearings do not.
Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the cylinder block, and push in the 5 upper bearings.
Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the crankshaft bearing cap, and push in the 5 lower bearings.
INSTALL CRANKSHAFT THRUST WASHER SET
Install the 2 thrust washers under the No. 3 journal position of the cylinder block with the oil grooves facing outward.
Install the 2 thrust washers on the No. 3 crankshaft bearing cap with the grooves facing outward.
INSTALL CRANKSHAFT
Place the crankshaft on the cylinder block.
Install the 5 crankshaft bearing caps in their proper locations.
Install the crankshaft bearing cap bolts.
Apply a light coat of the engine oil on the threads and under the bolt heads of the crankshaft bearing caps.
Install and uniformly tighten the 10 bolts of the crankshaft bearing caps, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
Check the crankshaft thrust clearance (See step Click here).
INSTALL PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD
Cover the connecting rod bolts with a short piece of hose to protect the crankshaft and cylinder bore from damage.
| *a | Front Mark (Arrow) |
Using a piston ring compressor, push the correctly numbered piston and connecting rod assembly into the cylinder with the front mark of the piston facing forward.
| *a | Front Mark (Protrusion) |
Place the connecting rod cap on the connecting rod.
Match the numbered connecting rod cap with the connecting rod.
Install the connection rod cap with the front mark facing forward.
Install the connecting rod cap nuts.
Tech Tips
The connecting rod cap nuts are tightened in 2 progressive steps (steps (2) and (4)).
If any connecting rod bolt is broken or deformed, replace it.
Apply a light of engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the connecting rod cap nuts.
Install and alternately tighten the nuts of the connecting rod cap in several passes.
If any one of the connecting rod cap nuts does not meet the torque specification, replace the cap nuts.
| *a | Front |
| *b | Painted Mark |
Mark the front of the connecting rod cap nuts with paint.
Retighten the connecting rod cap nuts 90° as shown.
Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle to the front.
Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
Check the connecting rod thrust clearance (See step Click here).
