Piston clearance:
Measure cylinder bore diameter and piston diameter to find
their difference which is piston clearance. Piston clearance
should be within specification as given below. If it is out of
specification, rebore cylinder and use oversize piston.
Piston clearance
: 0.032 – 0.061 mm (0.0013 – 0.0024 in.)
: 0.016 – 0.045 mm (0.0006 – 0.0018 in.) with coating
Ring groove clearance:
Before checking, piston grooves must be clean, dry and free
of carbon deposits.
Fit new piston ring (1) into piston groove, and measure clear-
ance between ring and ring land by using thickness gauge
(2). If clearance is out of limit, replace piston.
Ring groove clearance
Top ring
Standard : 0.03 – 0.07 mm (0.0012 – 0.0028 in.)
Limit : 0.12 mm (0.0047 in.)
2nd ring
Standard : 0.02 – 0.06 mm (0.0008 – 0.0024 in.)
Limit : 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
Oil ring
Standard : 0.03 – 0.17 mm (0.0012 – 0.0067 in.)
Piston Pin
Check piston pin, connecting rod small end bore and piston
bore for wear or damage, paying particular attention to con-
dition of small end bore bush. If pin, connecting rod small
end bore or piston bore is badly worn or damaged, replace
pin, connecting rod and/or piston. NOTE:
Cylinder bore diameters used here are measured in
thrust direction at two positions.
“a” : 19.5 mm (0.77 in.)

Rod bearing :
Inspect bearing shells for signs of fusion, pitting, burn or flak-
ing and observe contact pattern. Bearing shells found in
defective condition must be replaced.
Two kinds of rod bearing are available; standard size bearing
and 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.) undersize bearing. For identifica-
tion of undersize bearing, it is painted red at the position as
indicated in figure, undersize bearing thickness is 1.605 –
1.615 mm (0.0632 – 0.0635 in.) at the center of it.
Rod bearing clearance :
1) Before checking bearing clearance, clean bearing and crank
pin.
2) Install bearing in connecting rod and bearing cap.
3) Place a piece of gaging plastic (1) to full width of crank pin as
contacted by bearing (parallel to crankshaft), avoiding oil
hole.
4) Install rod bearing cap (1) to connecting rod.
When installing cap, be sure to point arrow mark (2) on cap
to crankshaft pulley side, as shown in figure. After applying
engine oil to rod bolts and tighten cap nuts (3) gradually as
follows.
a) Tighten all cap nuts to 15 N·m (1.5 kg-m, 11.0 lb-ft).
b) Retighten them to 45°.
c) Repeat step b) once again.

Connecting rod bearing cap nuts
(a) : 15 N·m (1.5 kg-m, 11.0 lb-ft) and extra tighten 90°
5) Remove cap and using a scale (1) on gaging plastic (2)
envelope, measure gaging plastic width at the widest point
(clearance).
If clearance exceeds its limit, use a new standard size bear-
ing and remeasure clearance.
Connecting rod bearing clearance
Standard : 0.029 – 0.047 mm (0.0011 – 0.0019 in.)
Limit : 0.065 mm (0.0026 in.)

6) If clearance can not be brought to within its limit even by
using a new standard size bearing, regrind crankpin to
undersize and use 0.25 mm undersize bearing.
ASSEMBLY
1) Install piston pin to piston (1) and connecting rod (2) :
a) After applying engine oil to piston pin and piston pin holes
in piston and connecting rod.
b) Fit connecting rod as shown in figure.
c) Insert piston pin to piston and connecting rod.
d) Install piston pin circlips (3).
2) Install piston rings to piston :
a) As indicated in figure, 1st and 2nd rings have “T” mark
respectively. When installing these piston rings to piston,
direct marked side of each ring toward top of piston.
b) 1st ring (1) differs from 2nd ring (2) in thickness, shape and
color of surface contacting cylinder wall.
Distinguish 1st ring from 2nd ring by referring to figure.
c) When installing oil ring (3) install spacer first and then two
rails.
3) After installing three rings (1st, 2nd and oil rings), distribute
their end gaps as shown in figure. NOTE:
After checking the rod bearing clearance, make sure that
checking for Connecting rod bolt deformation.
Refer to “INSPECTION” of “CONNECTING ROD”.
NOTE:
Circlip should be installed with its cut part facing as
shown in figure. Install so that circlip end gap comes
within such range as indicated by arrow.

6) Reverse removal procedure for installation as previously out-
lined.
7) Adjust water pump belt tension referring to Section 6B.
8) Adjust A/C compressor belt tension (if equipped) referring to
Section 1B.
9) Adjust accelerator cable play referring to Section 6E1.
10) Check to ensure that all removed parts are back in place.
Reinstall any necessary parts which have not been rein-
stalled.
11) Refill cooling system with coolant engine with engine oil.
12) Connect negative cable at battery.
13) Verify that there is no fuel leakage, coolant leakage, oil leak-
age and exhaust gas leakage at each connection. NOTE:
Before installing bearing cap, make sure that checking
for connecting rod bolt deformation.
Refer to “INSPECTION” of “CONNECTING ROD”.

3) Place a piece of gaging plastic (1) the full width of bearing
(parallel to crankshaft) on journal, avoiding oil hole.
4) Tighten bearing cap No.1 bolts (1) – (10) and No.2 bolts (11)
– (20) gradually as follows.
a) Tighten bolts (1) – (10) to 30 N·m (3.0 kg-m, 22.0 lb-ft)
according to numerical order in figure.
b) In the same manner as in Step a), tighten them to 50 N·m
(5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft).
c) In the same manner as in step a), retighten them to 60°.
d) Tighten bolts (11) – (20) to 22 N·m (2.2 kg-m, 16.0 lb-ft)
according to numerical order in figure.
Tightening torque
Crank shaft bearing No.1 bolts (1) – (10)
: 50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft) and extra tighten 60°
Crank shaft bearing No.2 bolts (11) – (20)
: 22 N·m (2.2 kg-m, 16.0 lb-ft)
5) Remove bearing caps and using scale (1) on gaging plastic
(2) envelop, measure gaging plastic width at its widest point.
If clearance exceeds its limit, replace bearing. Always
replace both upper and lower inserts as a unit.
A new standard bearing may produce proper clearance. If
not, it will be necessary to regrind crankshaft journal for use
of 0.25 mm undersize bearing.
After selecting new bearing, recheck clearance.
Main bearing clearance
Standard : 0.025 – 0.045 mm (0.0010 – 0.0018 in.)
Limit : 0.065 mm (0.0026 in.)
NOTE:
Do not rotate crankshaft while gaging plastic is installed.
NOTE:
After checking main bearing clearance, make sure that
replace bearing cap No.1 bolts new one.
