6. Install the lower cylinder block.
● Apply liquid gasket or equivalent to positions shown in the fig-
ure.
Use Genuine Liquid gasket or equivalent.
NOTE:
Cylinder block and lower cylinder block are machined
together. Neither of them can be replaced as a single unit.
CAUTION:
After liquid gasket is applied, rear oil seal installation
must be finished within 5 minutes. Therefore, the follow-
ing procedure must be performed quickly.

ing torque 36.3 to 42.2 N·m (3.7 to 4.3 kg-m, 27 to 31 ft-lb).
NOTE:
There are two more processes to complete the tightening of
mounting bolts (See step 9). However stop procedure here to
install rear oil seal.
8. Install rear oil seal.
CAUTION:
Complete this step within approximately 5 minutes after liq-
uid gasket is applied to the lower cylinder block.
●Press oil seal between cylinder block and crankshaft with a
suitable drift.
●Be careful not to touch the grease on the oil seal lip.
●Be careful not to cause scratches or burrs when pressing in
the oil seal.

How to Select Piston and Bearing EBS00KNV
DESCRIPTION
*For the service parts, the grade for fitting cannot be selected between a piston pin and a connecting rod.
(Only 0 grade is available.) The information at the shipment from the plant is described as a reference.
●The identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition.
This grade cannot apply to reused parts.
●For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimension accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the
measurement with the values of each selection table.
●For details of the measurement method of each part, the reuse standards and the selection method of the
selective fitting parts, refer to the text.

HOW TO SELECT PISTON
When New Cylinder Block is Used:
●Check the cylinder bore grade on rear left side of cylinder block, and select a piston of the same grade.
●If there is a corrected stamp mark on the cylinder block, use it as
a correct reference.
When Cylinder Block is Reused:
1. Measure the cylinder block bore inner diameter.
2. Determine the bore grade by comparing the measurement with the values under the cylinder bore inner
diameter of the “Piston Selection Table”. Select the piston of the same grade.
Piston Selection Table
Unit: mm (in)
NOTE:
●The piston is available together with piston pin as an assembly.
●The piston pin (piston pin bore) grade is provided only for the parts installed at the plant. For service parts,
no grades can be selected. (Only 0 grade is available.)
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING
When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used:
1. Apply big end inside diameter grade stamped on connecting rod
side face to the row in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection
Table”.

Undersize Bearings Usage Guide
●When the specified oil clearance is not obtained with standard size connecting rod bearings, use under-
size (US) bearings.
●When using undersize bearing, measure the bearing inner diameter with bearing installed, and grind the
crankshaft pin so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard.

CAUTION:
In grinding the crankshaft pin to use undersize bearings, keep
the fillet R (All crankshaft pins).
HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING
When New Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Used:
1. “Main Bearing Selection Table” rows correspond to bearing
housing grade on rear left side of cylinder block.
●If there is a corrected stamp mark on the cylinder block, use it
as a correct reference.
2. Apply journal diameter grade stamped on crankshaft front side
to column in “Main Bearing Selection Table”.
3. Find sign at crossing of row and column in “Main Bearing Selection Table”.
CAUTION:
There are two main bearing selection tables. One is for odd-numbered journals (No. 1, 3 and 5) and
the other is for even-numbered journals (No. 2 and 4). Make certain to use the appropriate table.
This is due to differences in the specified clearances.
4. Apply the symbol obtained to “Main Bearing Grade Table” to select.
NOTE:
Service part is available as a set of both upper and lower.
