Caution
The ring gear cannot be removed if it is heated.(2) Install the ring gear on flywheel after heating the ring gear
to
260-280°C (500-536°F) for shrink fit.
FLYWHEEL (Engine with a manual transaxle)
(1) Visually check the clutch disc friction surface of flywheel forridge wear, streaks and seizure. Replace as necessary.

15. INSTALLATION OF UPPER BEARINGWhen reusing the main bearings, install them in their
original positions by referring to location marking made at
the time of removal.
Be sure that oil holes in bearings align with those in cylinder
block.
13. INSTALLATION OF LOWER BEARINGMake sure that a bearing without oil groove is used as
lower bearing.
12. INSTALLATION OF BEARING CAP(1) Install the bearing caps with their arrow mark directed
toward the timing belt side of engine. Cap numbers
must be in correct order.(2) Tighten cap bolts in the sequence of center,
No.2,
No.4. front and rear cap bolts.
(3) Cap bolts should be tightened evenly in 2 to 3 steps
before they are finally tightened.
(4) Make certain that the crankshaft turns freely and has a
proper end play by checking the clearance between
center main bearing thrust flange and connecting rod
big end bearing.
Crankshaft end play:
0.05-0.18 mm (.0020-.0071 in.)
Limit:0.25 mm (.0098 in.)

INSPECTIONl Visually check the cylinder block for scores, rust and
corrosion. Also check for cracks or any other faults by using
the magnaflux method. Correct or replace the block if
faulty.
lMeasure the cylinder bore with a cylinder gauge at three
levels and in two directions A and
B as shown. If
out-of-round or taper is more than specified or if the
cylinder walls are badly scuffed or scored, the cylinder
&block should be rebored and honed, and new oversize
_pistons and rings fitted.
Measuring points are as shown.
Cylinder bore: 80.8 mm (3.173 in.)
Out-of-round and taper: 0.01 mm (.0004 in.)

lTo rebore the cylinder to an oversize, keep the specified
clearance between the oversize piston and the bore, and
make sure that all pistons used are of the same oversize.
The standard measurement of the piston outside diameter
is taken at a level 2 mm (0787 in.) above the bottom of thepiston skirt and across the thrust faces.

0.01-0.03 mm (.0004-.0012 in.)

Overall height: 285.2 mm (11.228 in.)

CYLINDER
REBORINGNOBVEBA(1) Determine the oversize pistons to be used with reference
to the cylinder with the largest bore.
(2) Measure the piston
O.D. at the measuring point.
NOTEThere are four piston oversizes available: 0.25 mm
(.OlOin.), 0.50 mm
(.020 in.), 0.75 mm (.030 in.) and 1.00 mm
(.039 in.).
(3) Based on the measured piston O.D., calculate the boring
dimension as follows:
Boring dimension = [Piston O.D.] + [Piston-to-cylinder
clearance 0.03 to 0.05 mm
(.0012 to .0020 in.)] - [Honing
allowance 0.02 mm
(.0008 in.)]
(4) Bore each cylinder to the calculated boring dimension.
Caution
To prevent distortion caused by temperature rise
during boring, work in the order of
No.2 to No.4 to
No. 1 to No.3 cylinders.(5) Hone to final finish dimension [Piston O.D.]
+ [Piston-to-cylinder clearance].
(6) Check piston to cylinder clearance.
Standard value: 0.01-0.03 mm (.0004-.0012 in.)
