Also, a letter A, B or C is stamped on piston head but ordinarily
it is not necessary to discriminate each piston by this letter.
1) Install piston pin to piston (1) and connecting rod (3):
After applying engine oil to piston pin and piston pin holes in pis-
ton and connecting rod, fit connecting rod to piston as shown in
figure and insert piston pin to piston and connecting rod, and
install piston pin circlips.
NOTE:
Circlip should be installed with its cut part facing either up
or down as shown in figure.
2) Install piston rings to piston:
As indicated in figure, 1st and 2nd rings have “RN” or “R” mark
respectively. When installing these piston rings to piston, di-
rect marked side of each ring toward top of piston.
1st ring (1) difffers from 2nd ring (2) in thickness, shape and
color of surface contacting cylinder wall.
Distinguish 1st ring from 2nd ring by referring to figure.
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.

5) Remove cap and using scale (2) on gaging plastic (1) envelope,
measure gaging plastic width at its widest point. If clearance ex-
ceeds 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.

STANDARD BEARING:
If bearing is in malcondition, or bearing clearance is out of specifica-
tion, select a new standard bearing according to the following pro-
cedure and install it.
1) First check journal diameter by using the following procedure.
As shown in figure, crank webs (1) of No.2 and No.3 cylinders
have five stamped numerals.
Three kinds of numerals (“1”, “2” and “3”) represent the following
journal diameters.
Numeral stamped

144.994 – 45.000 mm
(1.7714 – 1.7716 in.)
244.988 – 44.994 mm
(1.7712 – 1.7714 in.)
344.982 – 44.988 mm
(1.7709 – 1.7712 in.)
The first, second, third, fourth and fifth (left to right) stamped nu-
merals represent journal diameters at bearing caps “1”, “2”, “3”,
“4” and “5” respectively.
For example, in figure, the first (leftmost) numeral “3” indicates
that journal dia. at bearing cap “1” is within 44.982 – 44.988 mm,
and second one “1” indicate that journal dia. at cap “2” is within
44.994 – 45.000 mm.

2) Next, check bearing cap bore diameter without bearing. On mat-
ing surface of cylinder block, four alphabets are stamped as
shown in figure.
Three kinds of alphabets (“A”, “B” and “C”) represent the follow-
ing cap bore diameters.

(1.9294 – 1.9296 in.)
C49.012 – 49.018 mm
(1.9296 – 1.9298 in.)
The first, second, third, fourth and fifth (left to right) stamped al-
phabets reperesent cap bore diameters of bearing caps “1”, “2”,
“3”, “4” and “5”, respectively.
For example, in figure, the first (leftmost) alphabet “B” indicates
that cap bore dia. of bearing cap “1” is within 49.006 – 49.012
mm, and the fifth (rightmost) alphabet “A” indicates that cap bore
dia. of cap “5” is within 49.000 – 49.006 mm.
3) There are five kinds of standard bearings differing in thickness.
To distinguish them, they are painted in the following colors at
the position as indicated in figure.
Each color indicates the following thickness at the center of
bearing.

ENGINE COOLING 6B-3
THERMOSTAT
A wax pellet type thermostat is used in the coolant outlet passage
to control the flow of engine coolant, to provide fast engine warm
up and to regulate coolant temperatures.
A wax pellet element is hermetically contained in a metal case, and
expands when heated and contracts when cooled.
When the pellet is heated and expands, the metal case pushes
down the valve to open it.
As the pellet is cooled, the contraction allows the spring to close the
valve.
Thus, the valve remains closed while the coolant is cold, preventing
circulation of coolant through the radiator.
At this point, coolant is allowed to circulate only throughout the en-
gine to warm it quickly and evenly.
As the engine warms, the pellet expands and the thermostat valve
opens, permitting coolant to flow through the radiator.
In the top portion of the thermostat, an air bleed valve (1) is pro-
vided; this valve is for venting out the gas or air, if any, that is accu-
mulated in the circuit.

begins to open88C (190F)

COOLING FAN
The cooling fan is driven by electric motor, and the motor is acti-
vated by ECM / PCM (engine coolant temp.). For its details, refer to
Section 6E.
WARNING:
Keep hands, tools, and clothing away from engine cooling
fan to help prevent personal injury. This fan is electric and
can come on whether or not the engine is running. The fan
can start automatically in response to the ECM / PCM (en-
gine coolant temp.) with the ignition switch in the “ON”
position.

REMOVAL
NOTE:
Use care when handling fuel injector especially not to damage
filter and its needle.
Also, because injector is an electrical component, it should
not be immersed in any type of liquid solvent or cleaner, or it
may get damaged.
1) Relieve fuel pressure, referring to Section 6.
2) Disconnect battery negative cable at battery.
3) Remove air cleaner assembly referring to Section 6A.
4) Remove air cleaner mounting stay from throttle body.
5) Remove injector wire and then remove fuel injector from throttle
body.
INSPECTION
Check fuel injector filter for evidence of dirt and contamination. If
present, clean and check for presence of dirt in fuel lines and fuel
tank.
INSTALLATION
1) Apply thin coat of spindle oil or gasoline to new upper and lower
O-rings, install lower O-ring and upper O-ring to injector.
2) Install injector by pushing it straight into fuel injector cavity.
Never turn injector while pushing it.

WARNING:
Keep hands, tools, and clothing away from engine cooling

can come on whether or not the engine is running. The fan
can start automatically in response to the ECT sensor with
the ignition switch in the “ON” position.
Connect SUZUKI scan tool (2) to DLC (3).
Start engine and keep it running to warm it up.
Now check to ensure that radiator fan is started when the coolant
temperature displayed on SUZUKI scan tool reaches 96C
(205F).
If check result is not satisfactory, check RFC relay, wire harness,
ECT sensor, ECM, coolant temp. meter and sender gauge unit.
Refer to “DTC P0480 FLOW TABLE” of Section 6 and “COOLANT

6E2-6 ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (SFI FOR G13)
The main components of the air intake system are air
cleaner (1), air cleaner outlet hose (2), throttle body
(3), idle air control valve (4) and intake manifold (5).
The air (by the amount corresponding to the throttle
valve (6) opening and engine speed) is filtered by the
air cleaner (1), passes through the throttle body (3),is distributed by the intake manifold (5) and finally
drawn into each combustion chamber.
When the idle air control valve (4) is opened accord-
ing to the signal from ECM (PCM), the air (7) by-
passes the throttle valve (6) through bypass passage
and is finally drawn into the intake manifold (5).

NOTE:
Before inspection, check to make sure that gear shift lever is
in neutral position (with A / T model, selector lever in “P”
range), A / C is OFF and that parking brake lever is pulled all the
way up.
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) While listening to sound of injector (1) by using sound scope (2)
or such, increase engine speed to higher than 3,000 r / min.
3) Check to make sure that sound to indicate operation of injector
stops when throttle valve is closed instantly and it is heard again
when engine speed is reduced to less than about 2,000 r / min.
