Connecting Rod
1. Align the identification mark to the cap of large end
of connecting rod and F mark on the piston as
shown in the figure.

each piston pin and to the small end of each con-
necting rod.
3. Set a clip into the clip groove in one side of the
piston.
4. Insert the piston pin into the piston and connect-
ing rod from the opposite side of the piston with
the SST .
5. Tap the piston pin in until it touchs the clip. Install
the other clip into the groove in the piston.
6. Check the oscillation torque of the connecting rod.
(Refer to page 1B—33.)

Note
Wider thrust width is available only in under-
size center main bearing.
Pilot Bearing
1. Apply engine oil to the outer circumference of the
bearing.
2. Set a piece of pipe (outer diameter 30—34 mm,
1.18—1.34 in) against the outer race of the bear-
ing, then tap it evenly into the crankshaft.
3. Lubricate the bearing with grease.
Piston and Connecting Rod Assembly
1. Apply a liberal amount of clean engine oil to the
cylinder walls, piston, and rings.
2. Check the piston rings for the end gap alignment.
3. Insert each piston assembly into the cylinder block
with the F mark facing the front of the engine. Use
a piston installer tool (commercially available).

Connecting Rod Cap
1. Check the connecting rod bearing clearances us-
ing the same procedure as used for the main bear-
ing oil clearance.
Connecting rod cap tightening torque:
69—73 Nm (7.0—7.4 m-kg, 51—54 ft-lb)
Oil clearance:
0.027—0.067 mm (0.0011—0.0026 in)
Maximum: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in)
76G01B-076
Caution
Align the alignment marks on the cap and on
the connecting rod when installing the con-
necting rod cap.
2. If the oil clearance exceeds specification grind the
crankshaft and use undersize bearings. (Refer to
page 1B—46.)
76G01B-077
3. Check the side clearance of each connecting rod
without the cap installed.
Side clearance:
0.110—0.262 mm (0.004—0.0103 in)
Maximum: 0.30 mm (0.012 in)
If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the
connecting rod.
69G01B-139
4. Apply a liberal amount of engine oil to the crank-
pin journal and connecting rod bearing.
5. Install the connecting rod cap with the alignment
marks aligned.
Tightening torque:
69—73 Nm (7.0—7.4 m-kg, 51—54 ft-lb)

Valve and Valve Spring
1. Install the lower spring seat.
2. Install the valve.
3. Install the valve springs and the upper spring seat.
Note
Install the outer and inner valve spring with
the closer pitch toward the cylinder head.
4. Compress the valve spring with the SST; then in-
stall the valve keepers.
5. Tap the end of the valve stem lightly two or three
times with a plastic hammer to confirm that the
keepers are all fully seated.
Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (HLA)
1. Apply engine oil to the sliding surface.
2. Install the HLA in the position from which they were
removed.

TUNE-UP PROCEDURE
Turn the engine according to the procedures
described below.
Battery
1. Check for corrosion on the terminals, or loose ca-
ble connections.
If necessary, clean the clamps and tighten firmly.
2. Check the electrolyte level.
If the level is too low, add distilled water to the "UP-
PER LEVEL" mark.
3. Check the specific gravity by using a hydrometer.
If the specific gravity reading is 1.200 or less,
recharge the battery, by referring to Section 5.
Air Cleaner Element
Visually check the air cleaner element for being ex-
cessively dirty, damaged or oil.
Clean or replace it if necessary.
Caution
(Wet type)
Do not clean the air cleaner element with com-
pressed air, replace if necessary.
(Dry type)
When cleaning the air cleaner element, blow
dust off from the inside first, then blow off the
outside.
Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level and condition with the oil
level gauge.
Add oil, or change it, if necessary.

1C TUNE-UP PROCEDURE
Coolant Level
Check that the coolant level is near the radiator inlet
port, and that the level in the reserve tank is between
the FULL and LOW marks.
Add coolant up if the level is low.
Warning
Never remove the radiator cap when the en-
gine is hot.
Wrap a thick cloth around cap and carefully
remove the cap.
4BG01B-010
Water Draining
1. Drain the water from the sedimenter or fuel filter.
If it is difficult to drain the water from the drain plug,
loosen the air bleeding plug.
2. Bleed the air from the sedimenter or fuel filter. (Re-
fer to Section 4D)
76G01C-005
Valve Clearance
1. Remove the cylinder head cover.
2. Set the No. 1 cylinder to compression TDC.
Note

haust cam lobes face upward.
4BG01B-016
3. Measure the valve clearance of No. 1 cylinder by
using a thickness gauge.
Valve clearance (cold engine)
0.20—0.30 mm (0.008—0.012 in)
0.30—0.40 mm (0.012—0.016 in)
