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.

I
'1. Using a piston, push a new ring into the cylinderbore 15 - 20 mm (0.6 0.8 in) from the boftom.
Measure the piston ring end-gap with a feelergauge:
lf the gap is too small. check to see if you have
the proper rings for your engine.
lf the gap is too large, recheck the cylinder bore
diameter against the wear limits on page 7-13.
ll the bore is over the service limit, the cylinder
block must be rebored.

Oil Pressure
Testing
lf the oil pressure warning light stays on with the enginerunning, check the engine oil level. lf the oil level is
correct:
1. Connect a tachometer.
2. Remove the oil pressure switch and install an oil pres-
sure gauge.
3. Stan the engine. Shut it off immediately if the gauge
registers no oil pressure. Repair the problem before
continuing.
4. Allow the engine to reach operating temperatu,e {fancomes on at least twice). The Dressure should be:
Engine Oil Pressure:
At ldle: 70 kPa (0.7 kgf/cmr, 10 psi)
minimum
At 3,OOO lpm: 340 kPa {3.5 kgf/cmz, 50 psi}
minimum
a lJ oil pressure is within speciJications, replace the
engine oil pressure switch and recheck.
a lf oil pressure is NOT within specifications, in-
spect the oil pump (see page 8-1O).

Oil Jet
Inspection (B18C1 engine only|
Remove the oil jet (see page 8-4) and inspect it as
follows.
a Make sure that a I .l mm (O.04 in) diameter drill
will go through the nozzle hole {1 .2 mm {O.OS in)
diameterl.
a Insert the other end of the same 1.1 mm (O.O4
in) drill into the oil intake {1.2 rnm {0.05 in}
diameter).
Make sure the check ball moves smoothlv and has
a stroke of approximately 4.0 mm {O. 16 in).a Check the oil jet operation with an air nozzle. lt
should take at least 2OO kPa (2.O kgf/cmr,28
Dsi) 10 unseat the check ball.
NOTE: Replace the oiljet assembly if the nozzle
is damaged or bent.
2. Mounting torque is critical. Be very precise when in-
stalling.
