22. Separate the cylinder block (LH) and (RH).

NOTE: When separating the cylinder block, do not allow the connecting rod to fall and damage the cylinder block.

23. Remove the rear oil seal.
24. Remove the crankshaft together with connecting rod.
25. Remove the crankshaft bearings from cylinder block using a hammer handle.

NOTE:
^ Do not confuse the combination of crankshaft bearings.
^ Press the bearing at the end opposite to locking lip.

26. Draw out each piston from cylinder block using wooden bar or hammer handle.

NOTE: Be careful not to confuse the original combination of piston and cylinder.

INSTALLATION
1. After setting the cylinder block to ST, install the crankshaft bearing.
ST 18232AA000 ENGINE STAND

NOTE: Remove oil on the mating surface of bearing and cylinder block before installation. Apply a coat of engine oil to crankshaft pins.

2. Position the crankshaft and connecting rod on #2, #4 and #6 cylinder block.
3. Apply liquid gasket to the mating surface of the #1, #3 and #5 cylinder blocks, and position it on #2, #4 and #6 cylinder blocks.

Liquid gasket: THREE BOND 1215 (Part No. 004403007)

NOTE: Do not allow liquid gasket to run over to oil passages, bearing grooves, etc.





4. Apply a coat of engine oil to the washer and bolt thread.
5. Tighten all bolts in the numerical order as shown in the figure.





6. Retighten all bolts in the numerical order as shown in the figure.





7. Tighten all bolts 90° in the numerical order as shown in the figure.





8. Install the upper bolt to cylinder block.

Tightening torque: 25 Nm (2.5 kgf-m, 18 ft. lbs.)

NOTE: Remove the liquid gasket which is running over to sealing surface between cylinder block and rear chain cover, cylinder block and oil pan upper, after tightening the bolts which combine the cylinder block.





9. Install the rear oil seal using ST1 and ST2.

NOTE: Apply engine oil to the pressing-in portion.





10. Position the top ring gap at (A) in the figure.
11. Position the second ring gap at (B).





12. Position the upper rail gap at (C) in the figure.
13. Position the expander gap at (D) in the figure.
14. Position the lower rail gap at (E) in the figure.





CAUTION:
^ Make sure ring gaps do not face the same direction.
^ Make sure ring gaps are not within the piston skirt area.
^ Assemble it so that R mark faces to top side of piston.

15. Install the snap ring.
Install the snap rings in the piston holes located opposite to the service holes in cylinder block when positioning all pistons in corresponding cylinders.

NOTE: Use new snap rings.





16. Installation of piston:
a. Using the ST1, turn the crankshaft so that #3 and #4 connecting rod small ends are set on the service hole (A).

b. Apply a thin coat of engine oil to piston and cylinder.
c. Using the ST2, press-fit the piston into cylinder.
ST2 18254AA000 PISTON GUIDE





NOTE: Let the piston front mark (A) face towards the front of engine.





17. Installing piston pin:
a. Apply a coat of engine oil to ST3 before insertion, and then insert it into the service hole to align piston pin hole with connecting rod small end.
