Installation (cont'dl
10. Align the marks on the cylinder head plug to thecylinder head upper surface, then install the cylin,
der head plug in the cylinder head.
PLUGReplace.
Install the timing belt (see page 6-63).
Adjust the valve clearance (see page 6-61).
Install the head cover gasket in the groove of the
cylinder head cover. Seat the recesses for the
camshaft first, then work it into the groove around
the outside edges,
NOTE:
. Before installing the head cover gasket, thorough-ly clean the head cover gasket and the groove.
. When installing, make sure the head cover gasket
is seated securely in the corners of the recesses
wrrn no gap.

14. Apply liquid gasket to the head cover gasket at theeight corners of the recesses.
NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, Part No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718- 0003.
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and drybefore applying liquid gasket
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or morehave elapsed since applying tiquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing oldrestdue.
. After assembly. wait at least 30 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.

15. When installing the cylinder head cover, hold the
head cover gasket in the groove by placing your fin-
gers on the camshaft holder contacting surfaces
(toD of the semicircles).
Once the cylinder head cover is on the cylinder
head, slide the cover slightly back and forth to seat
the head cover gasket.
NOTE:
. Be{ore installing the cylinder head cover, clean
the cvlinder head contacting surfaces using a
shoP towel.
. Oo not touch the parts where liquid gasket was
applied.
. Replace any washer taht is damaged or deter'o-
rated.

16. Tighten the nuts in two or three steps. In the final
step, tighten all nuts, in sequence, to 9 8 N'm {1 0
kgf.m, 7.2 lbf.ft).
NOTE: After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes
before filling the engine with oil.
After installing, check that all tubes' hoses and con-
nectors are installed correctly.17.

caos.
Reinstall the main caps and bearings on the engine
in proper order,
lf you can feel ridge of metal or hard carbon around
the top of each cylinder, remove it with a ridge
reamer. Follow the reamer manufacturer's instruc-
I|ons.
CAUTION; lf the ridge is not removed, it may dam-
age tho pistons as they are pushod out.

12.Use the wooden handle of a hammer to drive the
pastons out.
13.Reinstall the connecting 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.

Pistons
Inspection
1.Check the piston for distortion or cracks,
NOTE: lf a cylinder is bored. an oversized piston
must be used.
Measure the piston diameter at a distance A from
bottom of the skirt.

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.

NOTE:
. After honing, clean the cylinder thoroughly with
