'1. Set the crankshaft to BDC for each cylinder.
2, Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short sec-
tions of rubber hose over the threaded ends of the
connecting rod bolts.
3. Install the ring compressor, and check that the bear-
ing is securely in place.
4. Position the arrow facing the timing belt side of the
eng ine.
The arrow must facethe timing belt sideot the engine. Theconnecting rod oil holemust face the intakemanjfold (81881 engine).

Position the piston in the cylinder. and tap it in
using the wooden handle of a hammer.
NOTE; Maintain downward force on the ring com-pressor to prevent rings from expanding before
entering the cylinder bore.
6. Stop after the ring compfessor pops free, and check
the connecting rod-to-crank journal alignment

Piston Rings
Replacement
Using a ring expander, remove old piston rlngs.
Clean all ring grooves thoroughly.
o Use a squared-ofl broken ring or ring groove
cleaner with blade to fit piston grooves.
. lop 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 clean the
ring lands, or cut ring lands deeper with cleaning
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 proper sequence and posa-
tion (see page 7 21).
Do not use old piston rings.
PISTON RING
End Gap
Using a piston, push a new ring into the cvlinder
bore 15 - 20 mm 10.6 0.8 in) f rom the bottom.
2. N,4easure the piston ring end gap with a feeler
gauge:
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.
lf the bore is over the service limit, the cylinder
block must be rebored.
