8. INSPECT PISTON RING GROOVE CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between new pis-
ton ring and the wall of the ring groove.
Ring groove clearance:
No.10.04 - 0.08 mm (0.0016 - 0.0031 in.)
No.20.03 - 0.07 mm (0.0012 - 0.0028 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the piston.
9. INSPECT PISTON RING END GAP
(a) Insert the piston ring into the cylinder bore.
(b) Using a piston, push the piston ring a little beyond the bot-
tom of the ring travel, 110 mm (4.33 in.) from the top of the
cylinder block.
(c) Using a feeler gauge, measure the end gap.
Standard end gap:
No.10.26 - 0.48 mm (0.0102 - 0.0189 in.)
No.20.36 - 0.57 mm (0.0142 - 0.0224 in.)
Oil (Side rail)0.13 - 0.50 mm (0.0051 - 0.0197 in.)
Maximum end gap:
No.11.07 mm (0.0421 in.)
No.21.02 mm (0.0402 in.)
Oil (Side rail)1.10 mm (0.0433 in.)
If the end gap is greater than maximum, replace the piston ring.
If necessary, replace the cylinder block.
10. INSPECT CONNECTING RODS
Using a rod aligner, check the connecting rod alignment.

Check for out-of-alignment.
Maximum out-of-alignment:
0.03 mm (0.0012 in.) per 100 mm (3.94 in.)
If out-of-alignment is greater than maximum, replace the con-
necting rod assembly.

REASSEMBLY
HINT:
Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
Before installing the parts, apply new engine oil to all slid-
ing and rotating surfaces.
Replace all gaskets, O-rings and oil seals with new parts.
1. ASSEMBLE PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD
(a) Coat the piston pin and pin holes of the piston with engine
oil.
(b) Align the cavity on the piston with the protrusion on the
connecting rod.
(c) Using SST, press in the piston pin.

09221-00130, 09221-00140, 09221-00150)
(d) After installing the piston pin, check that when the con-
necting rod is aligned with the center of the piston the
space between the piston and each end of the piston pin
are equal on the left and right sides.
HINT:
If the piston pin is off-center due to insufficient insertion pres-
sure on the piston pin, place a washer at the position indicated
by
in the illustration for (c). Then, while checking that the
space is equal at the ends of the piston pin on the left and right
sides, press in the washer.
2. INSTALL PISTON RINGS
(a) Install the oil ring expander and 2 side rails by hand.
(b) Using a piston ring expander, install the 2 compression
rings with the code mark facing upward.

(b) When installing the battery, be especially careful not to in-
correctly connect the positive (+) and negative (-) cables.
(c) Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during re-
moval or installation. Handle all MFI parts carefully, espe-
cially the ECM.
(d) Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are
numerous transistor circuits and contact with terminals
can cause further trouble.
(e) Do not open the ECM cover.
(f) When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to pre-
vent the entry of water. Also, when washing the engine
compartment, prevent water from getting on the MFI parts
and wiring connectors.
(g) Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
(h) Care is required when pulling out and inserting wiring con-
nectors.
(i) Release the lock and pull out the connector, pulling on the
connectors.
(j) Fully insert the connector and check that it is locked.
(k) When inspecting a connector with a volt/ohmmeter.
(l) Carefully take off the water-proofing rubber if it is a wa-
ter-proof type connector.
(m) Insert the tester probe into the connector from the wiring
side when checking the continuity, amperage or voltage.
(n) Do not apply unnecessary force to the terminal.
(o) After checking, install the water-proofing rubber securely
on the connector.
(p) Use SST for inspecting or testing the injector or its wiring
connector.

8. FUEL SYSTEM
(a) When disconnecting the high fuel pressure line, a large
amount of gasoline will spill out, so observe these proce-
dures:
(1) Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
(2) Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on
its own, turn the ignition switch.
(3) Put a container under the connection.
(4) Slowly loosen the connection.
(5) Disconnect the connection.
(6) Plug the connection with a rubber plug.
(7) Reconnect the fuel pump connector.
