Removal
NOTE: End play for th€ connecting rods and crankshaft
should be inspected betore removing the crankshaft.
1. Remove the oil Dan, oil screen and the oil pump.
Remove the baffle plate.
Turn the crankshaft so No.2 and 3 crankpins ar€ at
the bottom.
Remove the right side cover.

Reinstall main caps and bearings on the engine in
oroDer order.
lf you can feel a ridge of metal or hard carbon
around the top of each cylinder, remove it with a
ndge reamer.
Follow the reamer manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION: It the ridge is not removed, it may dam-
age the pistons as they are pushed oul.

CAUTION:
a Take care not to damage the contact surfaco ot
the metal gasket.

caro not to hit the oil iot {818C1 sngins onlyl.
. It tho oil iet nozzlo is damag6d or bont, replaco
the oil ist assembly (818C1 engine only, page 8-
8).
Reinstall the rod bearings and caps after removing
each piston/connecting rod assembly.
Mark each piston/connecting rod assembly with its
cylinder number to avoid mixup on reassembly.
NOTE: The existing number on the connecting rod
does not indicate its position in the engine, it indi-
cates the rod bore size.

EndPlay
NOTE; End play should be inspected before removing
crankshaft.
Push the crank firmly awav from the dial indicator, and
zero the dial against the end of the crank. Then pull the
crank firmly back toward the indicator; dial reading
should not exceed service limit.

S€rvic€ Limit 0.i15 mm (0.018 inl
. lf end play is excessive, inspect the thrust wash€rs
and thrust surface on the crankshaft. Replace pans as
necessary.
NOTE:
Thrust washer thickness is fixed and must not be
changed either by grinding or shimming.
Thrust washers are installed with grooved sides fac-
ing outward.

lnspection
. Clean the crankshatt oil passages with pipe cleaners
or a suitable brush.
. Check the keyway and threads.
Alignment
Measure runout on all main journals to make sure the
crank is not bent.
The differ€nce between measurements on each jour-
nal must not be more than the service limit.

Piston
lnstallation
'1.
Before installing the piston, apply a coat ofengine oil to the ring grooves and cylinder bores.
lf the crankshaft is already installed:
. Remove the connecting rod caps and slip short
sections of rubber hose ove. the threaded ends
of the connecting rod bolts.
a Install the ring compressor, check that the bear'
ing is securely in place, then position the piston
in the cylinder and tap it in using the wooden
handle of a hammer.
Stop after the ring compressor pops free and
check the connecting rod-to-crank journal align-
ment before tapping piston into place.
. Install the rod caps with bearings, then torque
the nuts,

lf the crankshaft is not installed:
o Remove the rod caps and bearings. install the
ring compressor, then position the piston in the
cylinder and tap it in using the wooden handle of
a nammer.
. Position all Distons at toD dead center.
CONNECTING RODOIL HOI-E (Br8Bl onginelThe arrow must facethe timing belt sideof the engine. Theconnecting rod oil holemust lace the intak€manifold {81881 €ngine).
NOTE: Maintain downward force on the ring com-
pressor to prevent rings from expanding before
entering the cylinder bore,
BING COMPRESSORUse the wooden handleof a hammer to push ortap the piston into thecylinder bore.
Piston Rings
Replacement
1.Using a ring expander, remove old piston rings.
Clean all ring g.ooves thoroughly.
NOTE:
. Use a squared-oJf broken ring or ring groove
cleaner with blade to fit piston grooves.
. Top ring groove is 1.0 mm (0.039 in) wide, sec-
ond groove is 1.2 mm (0.047 in) wide. and oil
ring groove is 2.8 mm (0.110 in) wide.. File down blade if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not use a wire brush to cloan thr
ring lands, or cut ring lands dsopo. with cl€aning
tool.
NOTE: lf the piston is to be separated from the con-
necting rod, do not install new rings yet.
Install new rings in the prope. sequence and posi-
tion (see page 7-18).
NOTE: Do not use old piston rings.

3. Measuro the piston pin-to-piston clearance.
NOTE: Check the Diston for distonion or cracks.
It the piston pin clearance is greater than 0.022 mm(0,0009 in), remeasure using an ovorsize piston pin.

Connecting Rods
Selection
Each rod falls into one of four tolerance ranges (from 0
to + 0.024 mm (0 to + 0.0009 inl, in 0.006 mm {0.0002 in)
increments) depending on the size ot its big end bore.
It's then stamped with a number (1,2,3, or 4) indicating
the range.
You may find any combination ol 1, 2, 3, or 4 in any
engane.
