Location Selective part combination Item Method
Cylinder block - pistonPiston and piston assembly
(Part No. is given to a piston
and piston pin as a set.)Piston grade (Piston outer
diameter)Refer to ªSelective combination
chartº.
+Identification grade stamped on each part represents initial
dimension of new part. This grade will not be applied to a
reused part.
+Measure correct dimensions of a reused or modified part,
then refer to ªSelective combination chartº in this manual to
identify the grade.
+Refer to the applicable pages for measurement method for
each part, standards for reuse, and selecting method for
selective part combination.
Disassembly
1. Remove engine assembly from vehicle.
Refer to EM-1064, ªENGINE REMOVALº.
2. Remove pilot bushing from flywheel using pilot bearing puller
(SST), if necessary (M/T model).
3. Install engine to engine stand (SST).
1) Remove flywheel (M/T model) or drive plate (A/T model).
+Using ring gear stopper (SST), secure ring gear, and remove
mounting bolts.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble flywheel.
+Flywheel has a two-piece structure. When being pressed
forward/backward, or twisted in rotating direction, transmis-
sion-side mass will be moved with audible sound. This is not
a problem.
2) Remove pilot converter (A/T model) and rear plate.

Assembly
1. Blow air sufficiently to inside coolant passage, oil passage,
crankcase, and cylinder bore to remove foreign matter.
2. Install main bearings and thrust bearings.
1) Remove contamination, dust and oil from bearing mounting
positions on cylinder block and main bearing caps.
2) Install thrust bearings on both sides of No. 4 housing on cyl-
inder block.
+Install thrust bearings with oil groove facing to crankshaft arm
(outside).
3) Being careful with the direction, install main bearings.
+Install main bearings with the oil holes and grooves onto the
cylinder block side, and those without oil holes and grooves
onto the lower cylinder block side.
+While installing bearings, apply engine oil to bearing surfaces
(inside). Do not apply oil to rear surfaces, but clean them
completely.
+Align stopper notches on bearings to install them.
+Check that the oil holes on the cylinder block body are mated
with the oil hole positions on the bearings.
3. Install crankshaft to cylinder block.
+While rotating crankshaft by hand, check for smooth rotation.
4. Install lower cylinder block.
+Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to lower cylinder
block as shown in the figure.
