INSPECTION I REPAIR ee x 25rnrn (1.0 in) min DAMAGE WEAR TIMING BELT Caution The following will damage the belt and shorten its life; Forcefully twisting it, turning it inside out, bending it, or allowing oil or grease on it. 1. Replace the timing belt if there is any oil or grease on it. 2. Check the timing belt for damage, wear, peeling, cracks, and hardening. Replace the timing belt if necessary. TENSIONER, IDLER Caution Using cleaning fluids or a steam cleaner to clean the tensioner can dissolve the grease in its sealed bearing. \.-' Check the tensioner and idler for smooth rotation and abnormal noise. Replace the tensioner or idler if neces- sary. TENSIONER SPRING Measure the free length of the tensioner spring. Replace the tensioner spring if necessary. Free length: 59.2mm (2.331 in) PULLEY Timing Belt Pulley, Camshaft Pulley Inspect the pulley teeth for wear, deformation, and other damage. Replace the pulley if necessary. Gartner Banana

Check the oscillation torque of the connecting rod. If the large end does not drop by its own weight, replace the piston and/or piston pin. Piston Ring 1. Install the three-piece oil rings on the pistons. (1) Apply clean engine oil to the oil ring spacer and rails. (2) lnstall the oil ring spacer with the ends upward. Note The upper and lower rails are the same. They can be installed with either face upward (3) Install the upper and lower rails. 2. Verify that the spacer tang separates the rails, and that the rails turn smoothly in both directions. 3. lnstall the rings with the R marks upward. 4. Using a piston ring expander, install the second ring with the scraper face downward. 5. Using a piston ring expander, install the top ring. 6. Apply clean engine oil to the top and second piston rings. 7. Position the end gaps of the rings as shown in the figure. Gartner Banana

ASSEMBLY , MATCHINGMARKS A SIDE CLEARANCE 1 2. Apply a liberal amount of clean engine oil to the cylinder walls, pistons, and piston rings. 3. Check the piston rings for correct end gap alignment. 4. Insert each piston assembly into the cylinder block with ..-, the F mark facing the front of the engine. Use a piston ring compressor (commercially available). Connecting Rod Cap 1. Align the matching marks on the cap and the connecting rod and install the connecting rod cap. 2. Measure the connecting rod bearing oil clearances us- ing the same procedure as for the main bearing oil clear- ance. Tightening torque: 48-50 N.m (4.8-5.1 kgf.m, 35--36 ftlbf} Oil clearance: 0.020-0.044mm (0.0008-0.0017 in) Maximum: 0.lOmm (0.004 in) 3. If the oil clearance exceeds the maximum, grind the crankshaft and use undersize bearings. (Refer to page 8-57.) U' 4. Measure the connecting rod side clearances. Side clearance: 0.11 O4.262rnm (O.OO44-O.OIO3 in) Maximum: 0.30mm (0.01 2 in) 5. If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the con- necting rod and cap. Apply a liberal amount of clean engine oil to the crank pin journals and connecting rod bearings. Install the connecting rod caps with the matching marks aligned. 8. Tighten the connecting rod cap nuts in two or three steps. Tightening torque: 48-50 N-m (4.8-5.1 kgf-m, 35--36 ftdbf) Gartner Banana
