INSTALL PISTON
Using a small screwdriver, install a new piston pin hole snap ring (rear side) at one end of the piston pin hole.
Gradually heat the piston up to 80 to 90°C (176 to 194°F).
Coat the piston, piston pin and connecting rod sub-assembly with engine oil.
| *a | Front Mark |
Align the front marks of the piston and connecting rod sub-assembly, insert the connecting rod sub-assembly into the piston, and then push in the piston pin with your thumb until the pin comes into contact with the snap ring.
Tech Tips
The piston and pin are a matched set.
| *1 | Piston Pin Hole Snap Ring |
| *a | Front Mark Cutout Portion |
Using a small 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 front mark cutout portion of the piston.
Check the fitting condition between the piston and piston pin.
Move the connecting rod sub-assembly 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 pin as a set.

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 bearing and No. 2 crankshaft bearing.
Install the crankshaft bearing to the cylinder block sub-assembly as shown in the illustration.
Note
Do not apply engine oil to the bearings or their contact surfaces.
Both sides of the oil groove in the cylinder block sub-assembly should be visible through the oil feed holes in the bearing. The amount visible on each side of the holes should be equal.
Do not allow coolant to come into contact with the bearing inner surface.
If any coolant comes into contact with the bearing inner surface, replace the bearing with a new one.
| *1 | Vernier Caliper |
Install the No. 2 crankshaft bearing onto the crankshaft bearing cap.
Using a vernier caliper, measure the distance between the crankshaft bearing cap edge and the No. 2 crankshaft bearing edge.
| Standard dimension A - B or B - A |
|---|
| 0 to 0.7 mm (0 to 0.0276 in.) |
Note
Do not apply engine oil to the bearings and the contact surfaces.
Do not allow coolant to come into contact with the bearing inner surface.
If any coolant comes into contact with the bearing inner surface, replace the bearing with a new one.
INSTALL CRANKSHAFT THRUST WASHER
| *1 | 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 bearing, and install the crankshaft onto the cylinder block sub-assembly.
Examine the front marks and numbers, and install the 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:
Using several steps, uniformly install and tighten the 10 crankshaft bearing cap bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration.
Step 2:
Tighten the 10 crankshaft bearing cap bolts again in the sequence shown in the illustration.
If a crankshaft bearing cap bolt does not meet the specified torque, replace it.
Step 3:
| *a | Paint Mark |
|
Engine Front |
Mark the front of the crankshaft bearing cap bolts with paint.
Tighten the 10 crankshaft bearing cap bolts 90° in the same sequence.
Check that the paint marks are now at a 90° angle to the front.
Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
INSTALL CONNECTING ROD BEARING
| *1 | Vernier Caliper |
Clean the connecting rod bearing contact surface of the connecting rod sub-assembly and connecting rod cap, and both surfaces of both connecting rod bearings.
Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod sub-assemblies and connecting rod caps.
Using a vernier caliper, measure the distance between the edges of the connecting rod sub-assembly and connecting rod bearing, and the edges of the connecting rod bearing cap and connecting rod bearing.
| Standard dimension A - B or B - A |
|---|
| 0 to 0.7 mm (0 to 0.0276 in.) |
Note
Do not apply engine oil to the connecting rod bearings and the contact surfaces.
Do not allow coolant to come into contact with the connecting rod bearing inner surface.
If any coolant comes into contact with the connecting rod bearing inner surface, replace the connecting rod bearing with a new one
