Bore Honing
1.Measure cylinder bores as shown on page 7-16. lf the
block is to be reused, hone the cylinders and remea-
sure the bores.
Hone cylinder bores with honing oil 8nd 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.
. Do not use stones lhat are worn or broken.
When honing is complete, thoroughly clean the
engine block of all metal particles. 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 scratches are still present in cylinder
bores after honing to the service limit, rebore the
cylinder block.
NOTE: Some light vertical 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.

Piston Rings
End Gap
1.Using a piston, push a new ring into the cylinderbore 15 - 20 mm (0.6 - 0.8 in) from the bottom.
Measure 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 borediameter against the wear limits on page 7-16,
lf the bore is over the service limit, the cvlinderblock must be rebored.

Replacement
1.Using a ring expander. remove the old piston rings.
Clean all ring grooves thoroughly.
NOTE:
. Use a squared-off broken ring or ring groove
cleaner with blade to fit piston grooves.
o Top ring groove is 1.0 mm (0.039 in)wide.. Second ring groove is 1.2 mm (0.047 in) wide.. Oil ring groove is 2,8 mm (0.11 in) wide.. File down the blade if necessary.
CAUTION: Do noi use a wire blush to clean ringlands. or cut ring lands deepol with cleaning tool.
NOTE: lfthe piston is to be separated from the con-necting rod, do not install new rings yet.
3. Install new rings in the proper sequence and posi-
taon (see page 7-22).
NOTE: Do not reuse old piston rings.

lnstallation
Before installing the pistons, apply a coat of
engine oil to the ring grooves and cylinder
bores.
lf the crankshaft is already installed:
. Set the crankshaft to BDC for each cylinder.
. Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short
sections of rubber hose over the threaded ends
of the connecting rod bolts.
. lnstall 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.
o Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and
check the connecting rod-to-crank journal align-
ment before pushing the piston into place
. Apply engine oil to the bolt threads. Install the
rod caps with bearings, and torque the nuts to:

lnstallation
Before installing the crankshaft, apply a coat of
engine oil to the main bearings and rod bearings.
Insert the bearing halves into the cylinder block and
connecting rods.
Hold the crankshaft so the rod journals for cylinders
No.2 and No. 3 are straight down.
Lower the crankshaft into the block, seating the rod
journals into connecting rods No. 2 and No. 3, and
install the rod caps and nuts finger-tight.

Check rod bearing clearance with plastigage (see
page 7-11), then torque the capnuts. Apply engine
oil to the bolt threads.

NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, part No. 08718 - 0001 or08718-0003.
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and drybefore apptying liquid gasket.
. Apply liquid gasket evenly, being careful to coverall the mating surface.. To prevent oil leakage, apply liquid gasket to theinner threads of the bolt holes.. Do not install the parts if five minutes or morehave elapsed since applying the liquid gasket.
Instead reapply liquid gasket after removing theold residue.
. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes beforefilling the engine with oil.
L Apply liquid gasket to the block mating surface ofthe right side cover, then install it on the cylinderblock.
