Remove the rod caps/bearings. Keep all caps/bear-
ings in order.
Lift the crankshaft out of the engine, being careful
not to damage journals.
Remove the upper bearing halves from connecting
rods and set them aside with their resDective caDs.
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.

Cylinder Block
Inspection (cont'dl
2.Check the top of the block for warpage.
Measure along the edges and across the center as
snown.
SURFACES TO BE MEASURED
Engine Block Warpsgc:
81881 ongine:
Standard lNewl: 0.07 mm {0.003 inl max.
Service Limil: 0.10 mm {0.00,1inl
B18Cl engine:
Standard (New): 0.05 mm 10.002 inl max.
Service Limit 0.08 mm {0.003 inl
Measure cylinder bores as shown on page 7-13.
lf the block is to be reused, hone the cylinders and
remeasure the bores.
Hone cylinder bores with honing oil and a fine (400
grit) stone in a 60 degree cross-hatch pattern.
NOTE:
. Use only a rigid hone with 400 grit or finer stone
such as Sunnen, Ammco, or equivalent.
a Do not use stones that are worn or broken.
When honing is complete, thoroughly clean the
cylinder block of all metal panicles. Wash the cylin-
der bores with hot soapy water, then dry and oil
immediately to prevent rusting.
NOTE: Never use solvent, it will only redistribute
the grit on the cylinder walls.
lf scoring or scralches are still present in cylinder
bores after honing to the service limit, rebore the
engine block.
NOTEr Some light venical scoring and scratching is
acceptable if it is not deep enough to catch your fin-
gernail and does not run the full length of the bore.
CYLINDER HONE
. After honing, clean the cylinder thoroughly with
soapy water.
. Only scored or scratched cylinder bores must be
noneo.

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,

818C1 cngino: 44 N'm 1,t.5 kgf.m, 33 lbf.ftl
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.

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.
