assembly. The connecting rods have a pressed in
place wrist pin bushing which is lubricated by the oil
jets (Fig. 48).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PISTON RING
FITTING
(1) Wipe cylinder bore clean. Insert ring and push
down with piston to ensure it is square in bore. The
ring gap measurement must be made with the ring
positioning at least 12 mm (0.50 in.) from bottom of

from top of cylinder block. Rotate crankshaft so that
each connecting rod is centered in cylinder bore.
NOTE: Be careful not to nick or scratch crankshaft
journals
(9) After removal, install bearing cap on the mat-
ing rod and mark pistons with matching cylinder
number when removed from engine block.
PISTON PIN - REMOVAL

(2) Remove 2 snap rings securing piston pin (Fig.
51).
(3) Push piston pin out of piston and connecting
rod (Fig. 51).
PISTON RING - REMOVAL
(1) ID mark on face of top and second piston rings
must point toward piston crown.
(2) Using a suitable ring expander, remove top and
second piston rings (Fig. 52).
(3) Remove upper oil ring side rail, lower oil ring
side rail and then the oil expander from piston.
(4) Carefully clean carbon from piston crowns,
skirts and ring grooves ensuring the 4 oil holes in
the oil control ring groove are clear.
INSPECTION
PISTONS
(1) Piston Diameter: Size: 91.912-91.928mm
(3.6185-3.6192 in.) Maximum wear limit .05mm
(.0019 in.).
(2) Check piston pin bores in piston for roundness.

PISTON PINS
(1) Measure the diameter of piston pin in the cen-
ter and both ends.
(2) Piston pin diameter is 29.992 to 29.996mm
(1.1807 to 1.1809 in.).
INSTALLATION
PISTON PIN INSTALLATION
(1) Secure connecting rod in soft jawed vice.
(2) Lubricate piston pin and piston with clean
engine oil.
(3) Position piston on connecting rod (Fig. 53).
CAUTION: Ensure arrow on piston crown and the
bearing cap numbers on the connecting rod are on
the opposite side.
(4) Install piston pin (Fig. 53).
(5) Install clips in piston to retain piston pin (Fig.
53).
(6) Remove connecting rod from vice.
PISTON RINGS - INSTALLATION
(1) Install rings on the pistons using a suitable
ring expander (Fig. 54).
(2) Top compression ring is tapered and chromium
plated. The second ring is of the scraper type and
must be installed with scraping edge facing bottom of
the piston. The third is an oil control ring. Ring gaps
must be positioned, before inserting piston into the
liners, as follows.
(3) Top ring gap must be positioned at the #3 posi-
tion (looking at the piston crown from above) (Fig.
55).
(4) Second piston ring gap should be positioned at
the #1 position (Fig. 55).
(5) Oil control ring gap should be positioned at the
#2 position (Fig. 55).
(6) When assembling pistons check that compo-
nents are installed in the same position as before dis-
assembly, determined by the numbers stamped on
the crown of individual pistons. Engine cylinders are
numbered starting from gear train end of the engine.
Face arrow on top of piston toward front of
engine. Therefore, the numbers stamped on connect-
ing rod big end should face toward the injection
pump side of engine. To insert piston into cylinder
use a ring compressor as shown in (Fig. 56).
INSTALLATION
(1) Before installing pistons, and connecting rod
assemblies into the bore, be sure that compression
ring gaps are staggered so that neither is in line with
oil ring rail gap (Fig. 55).

(2) Before installing the ring compressor, make
sure the oil ring expander ends are butted together.
(3) Immerse the piston head and rings in clean
engine oil, slide the ring compressor, over the piston
and tighten (Fig. 56).Ensure position of rings
does not change during this operation.
(4) Face arrow on piston towards front of engine.
NOTE: Be careful not to nick crankshaft journals.
(5) Rotate crankshaft so that the connecting rod
journal is on the center of the cylinder bore. Insert
rod and piston into cylinder bore and guide rod over
the crankshaft journal.
(6) Tap the piston down in cylinder bore, using a
hammer handle. At the same time, guide connecting
rod into position on connecting rod journal.
(7) Install connecting rod caps (Fig. 57). Install rod
bolts and tighten to 30N´m (22 ft.lb.) plus 60É. Then
torque to 88N´m (65 ft.lb).
