      Using a piston ring expander, remove the 2 compression rings.

    2. Remove the oil ring expander and 2 side rails by hand.

      Tech Tips

      Arrange the removed parts in the correct order.

  4. REMOVE PISTON


    1. A01I0E9

      Check the fitting condition between the piston and piston pin.


      1. Try to move the piston back and forth on the piston pin.

        If any movement is felt, replace the piston and pin as a set.

    2. A01I1SU

      Disconnect the connecting rod from the piston.


      1. Using a screwdriver, pry off the piston pin hole snap rings from the piston.

      2. A01HXS3

        Gradually heat the piston to approximately 80°C (176°F).

      3. A01I0KJ

        Using a brass bar and a plastic hammer, lightly tap out the piston pin and remove the connecting rod sub-assembly.

        Tech Tips


        • The piston and piston pin are a matched set.

        • Arrange the pistons, piston pins, piston pin hole snap rings, connecting rods and connecting rod bearings in the correct order.

    3. A01HZEK

      Using a gasket scraper, remove the carbon from the piston top.

      Note

      Be careful not to scratch a piston.

    4. Using a groove cleaning tool, clean the piston ring grooves.

    5. A01I0JE

      Using solvent and a brush, thoroughly clean the piston.

      Note

      Do not use a wire brush.

  5. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT


    1. A01I0Y0E03

      Uniformly loosen and remove the 8 crankshaft bearing cap bolts and the 8 seal washers in several steps and in the sequence shown in the illustration.

    2. A01HYZNE01

      *a Joint Surface

      Using a screwdriver, pry out the crankshaft bearing caps. Remove the 4 crankshaft bearing caps and lower crankshaft bearings.

      Note


      • Push up on the cap slowly and evenly, alternating from the right and left side so that the bearing cap can be removed.

      • Be careful not to damage the joint surface of the cylinder block and the crankshaft bearing cap.

    4. Remove the crankshaft.

  6. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT BEARING


    1. Remove the upper crankshaft bearings and lower crankshaft bearings.

      Tech Tips
