REASSEMBLY

HINT:
- Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
- Before installing the parts, apply fresh engine oil to all sliding and rotating surfaces.
- Replace all gaskets, O-rings and oil seals with new parts.

NOTICE: Apply a generous amount of oil on the sliding surface of the bearing, and not on the back of it or on the surface to which it is installed.





1. Assemble piston and connecting rod.
a. Using a small screwdriver, install a new snap ring on one side of the piston pin hole.

HINT: Be sure that end gap of the snap ring is not aligned with the pin hole cutout portion of the piston.

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





c. Coat the piston pin with engine oil.
d. Align the front marks of the piston and connecting rod, and push in the piston pin with your thumb.
e. Install a new snap ring at the other end of the piston pin hole.

HINT: Be sure that end gap of the snap ring is not aligned with the pin hole cutout portion of the piston.





2. Install piston rings.
a. Install the oil ring expander and 2 side rails by hand.
b. Using a piston ring expander, install the 2 compression rinds with the code mark facing up.





c. Position the piston rings so that the ring ends are as shown.

NOTICE: Do not align the piston ring ends.





3. Install bearings.
a. Align the bearing claw with the groove of the connecting rod and connecting cap.
b. Install the bearings in the connecting rod and connecting rod cap.





4. Install main bearings.

HINT:
- Main bearings come in widths of 20.0 mm (0.787 inch) and 23.0 mm (0.906 inch). Install the 23.0 mm bearings in the No.1 cylinder block journal position with the main bearing cap. Install the 20.0 mm bearings in the other positions.
- Upper bearings have an oil groove and oil holes; lower bearings do not.





a. Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the main bearing cap or cylinder block.

NOTICE: Install the bearing with the oil hole in the cylinder block.





b. Install the bearings in the cylinder block and main bearing caps.





5. Install upper thrust washers.
Install the 2 thrust washers under the No.4 main journal position of the cylinder block with the oil grooves facing outward.
6. Place crankshaft on cylinder block.





7. Place main bearing cap and lower thrust washers on cylinder block.
a. Install the lower thrust washers on the No.4 main bearing with the grooves facing outward.





b. Install the main bearing caps in numerical order with the arrows facing forward.
8. Install main bearing cap bolts.

HINT:
- The main bearing cap bolts are tightened in 2 progressive steps (steps b and d).
- If any of the main bearing bolts break or deform, replace them.





a. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the main bearing cap bolts.
b. Install and uniformly tighten the 14 main bearing cam, bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.

Torque: 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.)

If any one of the main bearing cap bolts does not meet the torque specification, replace the main bearing cap bolt.





c. Mark the front of the main bearing cap bolt head with paint.
d. Retighten the main bearing cap bolts 90 in the numerical order shown above.
e. Check that the painted mark is now at: a 90� angle to the front.
f. Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.





9. Check crankshaft thrust clearance.
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver.

Standard thrust clearance: 0.020 - 0.220 mm (0.0008 - 0.0087 inch)
Maximum thrust clearance: 0.30 mm (0.0118 inch)


If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace the thrust washers as a set.

Thrust washer thickness: 1.940 -1.990 mm (0.0764 - 0.0783 inch)






10. Install piston and connecting rod assemblies.
Using a piston ring compressor, push the correctly numbered piston and connecting rod assemblies into each cylinder with the front mark of the piston facing forward.





11. Place connecting rod cap on connecting rod.
a. Match the numbered connecting rod cap with the connecting rod.
b. Install the connecting rod cap with by aligning the dowel pin to the corresponding hole.





12. Install connecting rod cap bolts.

HINT:
The connecting rod cap bolts are tightened in 2 progressive steps (steps b and d).
If any of the connecting rod bolts break or deform, replace them.

a. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the connecting rod cap bolts.
b. Install and alternately tighten the bolts of the connecting rod cap in several passes.

Torque: 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.)





If any one of the connecting rod cap bolts does not meet the torque specification, replace the cap bolt.
c. Mark the front of the connecting rod cap bolt with paint.
d. Retighten the connecting rod cap bolts 90° in the numerical order shown.
e. Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle to the front.
f. Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
13. Check connecting rod thrust clearance.
14. Install rear oil seal retainer.
a. Remove any old packing (FIPG) material and be careful not to drop any oil on the contact surfaces of the retainer and cylinder block.
- Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old packing (FIPG) material from the gasket surfaces and sealing groove.
- Thoroughly clean all components to remove all debris.





Using a non-residue solvent, clean both sealing surfaces.
b. Apply seal packing to the retainer as shown in the illustration.

Seal packing: Part No.08826 00080 or equivalent

- Install a nozzle that has been cut to a 2 - 3 mm (0.08 - 0.12 inch) opening.
